Default Oil pan gasket replacement

Looking for confirmation on how to replace the oil pan gasket on a 1968 K301 short block which has developed a leak. This is on a CC 125. I am not seeing a way to replace the gasket without pulling the engine....is that correct ??? ...or is there some workaround? Thank you for any input....michael

There might be a way to do it but I am sure it would be more work then
just pulling the engine. It really isn't that big a job on these machines.
It also gives a person a chance to clean lots of years of crud up.
Is it possible the leak is coming from somewhere else and running down
to the pan?

Yes, you will have to pull the motor out, the oil pan is bolted to the tractor frame. It’s not really as hard as it looks. Take out the 4 mounting bolts, 2 are above the axle, so you will have to jack up the front of the tractor and let the axle pivot down to get at them. Remove the gas tank, disconnect the choke and throttle cables, and a couple wires, then slide the engine forward a couple inches to disconnect the driveshaft and lift it out.

Thanks for the input...I used flour to locate the leak but with an engine with that many years it is entirely possible to have leaks elsewhere to pulling the engine would probably be beneficial...thanks again....

pull motor 40 min. to hour. diffenitly clean all crud on motor & frame. if you have x perience. tap out a new gasket or sponsers can help you there. Put a rule across oil pan see how even it is. maybe some filing. check oil pan holes in frame for stress cracks. might as well look at clutch since motor is out. sorry after you do a couple comes routine. Better than should of, would of, could of.

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.
