Transmission leak in my 129
Had a leak for many years, and then after replacing the cork gasket last year - everything seemed dry. Now, however, past few weeks I'm finding that I need to again keep a container underneath and am seeing some fluid. After mowing today, I took off the tunnel cover and saw a good amount of fluid (and dirt) accumulated in the area near the valve assemblies and also immediately in front of them. I tightened the nut that sort of sits right between (and slightly forward of) the two valves. It wasn't by any means loose, but thought it might be worth it. I cleaned everything up real well underneath and all around the trans - as much as I could - so now will keep an eye on where it seems to be coming from.
Any suggestions? I did see evidence of some fluid near those valves again tonight and I know I wiped it pretty clean when I was done mowing earlier today. I left the cover off so as to be able to examine everything easily. Since I'm seeing fluid up near the top, I suspect it's just running down along the rest of the trans. Will try to narrow it down but any ideas would be appreciated. I've checked it often ever since the cork gasket job last year and have not noticed anything until recently.

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.
