Relief valve leaking on 2284
Hey guys, hope all is well with everyone!
So I noticed a few mows ago that my 2284 had a few drips coming from the trans as I let it warm up in the driveway. I pull the tunnel cover off and saw that it was coming from the relief valves (don't remember if it was one or both). Anywho, I grabbed a wrench to make sure they were tight and I got a small bit of turn out of each and the leaking seemed to stop. Or so I thought. I went to mow again the other day and noticed it was leaking again. As the leak wasn't pouring and this time of year I need to move when I can, I kept an eye on it and proceeded to get my mowing job done. Fast forward to today and I just jumped onto partstree.com and looked at a breakdown of things. Seems as though there are three o-rings that go around the outside of the valve when you install it. To me, it seems like a simple fix; replace the o-rings and be done with it but that got me to thinking, I don't think I've read too much about these being an issue on other Cubs. I know that rebuilding the relief valves is a somewhat common thing but is it ever as simple as the seating o-rings? The machine has just shy of 1000 hours on it and since I've had it it has been maintained well (I think I was the first to change the trans fluid, though, maybe a couple hundred hours ago). Any of you guys have similar issues with the o-rings going bad or allowing fluid to leak by? Or am I looking at something more expensive and a potential relief valve rebuild? I haven't had a chance to pull things apart and take a better look yet so I'm just asking because it's all I can do for now

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.
