More on the 982
So, as I was tuning up the Onan, I noticed some oil/sludge build up on the undercarriage at the front of the tractor. As I investigated further - removed hood, lights, grill, and engine shrouds - I found a good deal of sludge build up on the outside of the front of the engine and a lot of oil soaked grass on the frame rails. Then I removed the mufflers and cleaned off a good deal of the build up. No puddles on the ground, so I'm thinking that this didn't build up over nite. Anyway, I fired her up, no mufflers, and took a close look at the bearing gasket area, the front seal area and the cam plug. I was expecting to have oil slung on me from the crank, but that didn't happen. I did notice some oil starting to seep a little on the left side of the bearing plate. I need some more cleaner to get it really cleaned up, so I finished up for the nite. But, not before I noticed that drive shaft couplers at the front of the engine are ragged and need replaced. (I was assessing the work I'll have to do if I need to pull the engine)
So, I think my next potential tasks will be: (Hopefully not removing the engine) 1) Finish cleaning and then assess where the leak is coming from 2) Remove PTO (any hints/tricks are appreciated!) 3) Potentially replace front seal and/or bearing plate gasket. 4) Replace front rag joints 5) Reassemble. I think if I need to pull the engine, I'll tear her down and prep for paint.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
