a fine mist spraying out of the front crank seal, dang it. Even after shutting
down the seal was still wanting to leak. It was a new seal.

I figure the seal is just crummy or the breather isn't working.
When I pulled the breather there was just a trace of oil in it.
I don't know what that means really.

When operating correctly how much oil gets caught up into the breather?

All said I am quite pleased with the way this went, its alive. Cool

Please,
lets not start the front/rear seal debate again.


Is it the PTO seal or the flywheel seal?
If pto seal it could of got damaged during installation.
is it leaking between the shaft and seal lip?
or between the seal and crankcase cover?
the outside of the seal needs a light coating of sealant.
I use Hondabond or Yamabond as it works better than RTV snot
And the ID of the seal where it rides on the crank, needs a little bit of grease so It don't start off dry and wear excessively.
A Genuine Kohler seal has lube in the seal already.
Do not use too much sealer on the pto seal as it clogs the drain back hole from the main bearing and it will blow the seal out of the crankcase cover if the PTO clutch is not installed, or if the PTO is installed, it will blow the seal lip out around the crankshaft if a glob of RTV is in the drain back to sump hole.
Those oil pumps will push in excess of #80 on a cold engine.

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.
