If I read your post right, it sounds like your seals are in wrong. The steel side of of the seal on the top seals should face up toward the pulleys. The bottom seals should face the same way.

But maybe I didn't read your post right?

them instr would be great if it tells you whether spindle is sitting on my bench or in the deck. seal facing up means facing blade if sitting on my bench and facing up towards bearing if installed in deck. im thinking either way 1 should be in backwards to let grease escape when pumped.

I agree with you, just pointing out the error.

I agree with you too. My preference would be that the grease not escape upwards under the pulley where it would splatter all over the place.

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.
