1863 questions
I quit using the 1863 to mow late last year because of what I think is an axle seal leak. I pulled a trailer a few times this winter and it got to where if I let the brake all the way up there was a terrible noise. I brought it to the garage today after airing up a tire that had never leaked down before.
The tire; looks like from the soapy water it's leaking around the rim. should I break the tire down, wire brush the wheel, repaint it and see if it will seal or just go ahead and tube it? Maybe work on the rim and tube it? The noise; I took the tunnel cover off and saw that the brake switch arm is rubbing the drive shaft. Seems like I had this problem when I first got the tractor but that was 5 years ago, can't remember. If I loosen the bolt and move the arm down I'm thinking that when I push the pedal all the way down it will either bend or slip back up. The arm is not centered on the switch, i'm thinking I will bend it to the right a little and that should get it off the drive shaft. Does this have anything to do with brake adjustment? Leak; Am I right that I will have to remove the height adjustment rod to remove the hitch plate to remove the differential cover to remove the cir-clip to pull the axle to replace the seal? Looks like there is a nut on the end of the height rod. Is it right or left hand thread? Cannon

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.
