Cub Cadet 3165 Slow leak on transmission
Ok, I have a CC 3165 that has a slow leak on the transmission/differential It drips very slowly from the right side just under the axle. It does NOT look like the axle seal is the problem. I cleaned up and blew all the fluid and gunk out from the area. It looks like the fluid is welling up from below in the housing rather than the differential itself. I am going to go back out and check it again to see if I can see a specific place it is coming from, but I am thinking it is coming from behind the black housing and weep up. The housing may be full? Before I tear too far into it, I was hoping I could get some insight or opinions. There is a part number on the outside of the housing: 618-3134A
Here are a couple photos. This is the housing and axle. Yellow line shows where the fluid is collecting 20240301 Rear Axel (5).jpg Here is a closer look at the area where the fluid is collecting marked by yellow line 20240301 Rear Axel (2).jpg Here is another close up showing where the fluid is collected blue arrow 20240301Rear Axle (1).jpg And this is after about an hour or so, you can see the fluid has come back. 20240301_140804.jpg If I take that back black housing off, will that have a gasket or is it just a housing or shield for the differential/axle? Let me know if you guys have any tips, ideas, insight, cautions, whatever. Transmission runs fine as it is btw.

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.
