Default Anybody ever replace fron Oil Seal in a Kohler?

Looking at a used 2554, seems like a pretty good deal. Guy says it has "major oil leak" and claims it is the front seal. This has the Kohler in it and some interent sleuthing seems to reveal the replacement isn't too tough. Getting to it is a whole 'nuther story apparently.

Anybody ever done one? I'm trying to find a tractor to do some leaf cleanup so want something that will take a bagger.

I really want a 1641 like I used to have (should have never sold) but can find no evidence that it has a bagger attachement available.

I'm mechanically inclined. Rebuilding a 48 willys and just recently put new cam and heads / gasket on a B&S Intek on my 0 turn.

I would suggest going to the Kohler web site and download the manual for the engine. You should not have too much trouble replacing the seal.

I've changed them, no big deal. Remove some tin and pull the pto clutch.
Another place they may leak is the "O" rings for the valve covers.
There are different ones depending on your year.

Just remember that the front seal is behind the flywheel and the rear seal is behind the PTO clutch on the front of the tractor when you order parts.

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.
