Looking to add a 2284 to the gang
Hi All,
I've been swamped lately, 2072 is still apart waiting driveshaft parts, 1210 is dead (hydro mystery I have not dug into yet). And the 1100 is still doing all the work around here. Got a line on a 2284 with (get this) 376 hours. I looked it over today, and was disappointed to find oil seeping onto the mule drive at the front of the engine. Seller claims replacing front oil seal is a cake job. I also noticed the mule drive will not seat properly on the left side. Carrier keeps springing slightly away from the frankenstien bolt (about 1/2 inch. Engine seems to run ok, just a little uneven at idle. (surges). Plenty of power, and dry hydro area. The oil leak has me worried tho. Started getting pressure from seller that it would be "gone tomorrow..." Also, the blades are almost completely worn away! I've never seen that much wear on a set of blades still in service. Those 376 hours had to be brutal ones. So my big question is, how hard is it really to do the oil seal?  Thanks, John

The seal is no big deal. You remove the complete hood, muffler and the PTO, pull the old seal out and put the new one in. I'd be more concerned about some of the other issues on it like why is the mule drive not straight with the frame? The 2284 I have for sale also had a surging issue turned out to be the SAM ignition and coils were bad. You get to remove the engine to fix that. Check the CV joints on the drive shaft and see if they have ever been greased. If not and the shaft splines are shot you have a problem, the shaft is NLA. I know NY is a bit of a haul but I have 2 killer Supers for sale with brand new engines. PM me with your phone # if you have any more questions. Sam

Word to the wise. Lube the shaft but do not, absolutely do not over lube it. I know a guy that did that and had grease slung all over the engine, frame and side panels. That big dummy had a real grease slick mess. A mouse will not build a nest in that rear engine cover, it was too grease slicked to get in there.

More Super Woes
Thanks for the info. I think I'm letting the 2284 go. Something about the whole deal just doesn't seem right. I think that machine got hammered on. If all it needs is a "cleaning". Why is the owner dumping it instead of putting "a few bucks" into it and keeping it? The current seller is a dealer in a remote, rural area who just took it in on trade for a new machine. If you could see the blades you would be amazed. They were worn completely smooth and round, and had been ground down to about 5/8" of remaining steel. What I really could use is a smaller garden tractor that would take my 451 blower. Maybe a 1440. Anyway...finally got back to the 2072 now that the new starter showed up. Pulled the 3-point hitch, and about 12 pounds of crud, and found my leak. Apparently 5 of the 8 bolts that hold the hitch to the frame are missing.
 The resulting strain of picking the tiller has fractured the aluminum housing at one of the remaining bolts. I don't know if I can MIG it, or maybe JB Weld. It definitely communicates to the Hydro Fluid resevoir, cause fluid bubbles out when I pressurize the hydro w/ air. Also fluid runs out of the big ring gasket on the same side. Gonna try to tear it right down to get at the gasket.I'll try to get a decent pic. Never enough time, enough room in the shop, or enough cash lol.

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.
