Yea its been couple years since I had mine apart I believe the shaft is just a close fit through the steel housing shouldn't have too much play unless that housing was terribly worn , hopefully the new seals will fix your leak ! Hopefully just too much belt tension and a bad seal !

I'm hoping for the same. I do have some tension on it now. I should back off some. How loose should it be?

Any belt tension moves a shaft to one side of the bearing, be it ever so little.
If a new seal cannot compensate for slight shaft movement, addressing the issue is needed.
A belts needs to be adjusted so it does not slip while the pump is in operation,no more no less, that goes for any belt.

Well, I worked on it a little this evening. I put my new 2 seals and backed off the belt tension some and so far it seems to be leak free.

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.
