Cub 149 axle leak
I’ve got a cub 149 with a leak at the axle seal. I replaced the seal a few years ago but tapped it in with a hammer. Figured maybe I seated it incorrectly so I ordered a new seal and replaced it again. This time I pressed it in. Leak developed again.
Any chance the axle is worn which is causing leak? Any other ideas? This is right side of tractor.

First, welcome to OCC.........
 Check the bearing to see if there is "slop".

It is likely that there is a grove in the shaft or damage in the seal bore where the seal was improperly removed.
Also the bearing could be worn allowing the shaft to move more than the seal can compensate for. Only careful inspection can determine the cause for leakage.

Thanks Roland, I was a member years ago but changed email and forgot my password. So I started new again.
As for the axle shaft. I did not replace bearings so that very likely could be the cause. The axle seal was removed carefully and no damage to seating area. I did notice a slight ridge on axle but couldn’t really measure just could feel it if you dragged your fingernail across it. How do I check bearing play? And what would be considered a worn axle

You may have damaged the seal with the splines when putting the axle back in.

Been working on other things today but will jack it up tonight and give it a jiggle.
This is the second seal so maybe the first time but highly doubtful. Definitely not the second time. It’s either a ridge in the axle or bad bearing as suggested

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.
