I really should start keeping track of the failures on these rear ends. It seems to me that almost all the failures I've seen are on the difflock equipped models. They have larger diameter axleshafts with a fine spline. When I repaired my 3205 I actually swapped in an open diff rear, so I'm wondering it it is actually a better design in some aspects? I say that because I have beat the tar out of mine and it is still quiet and smooth and everything is still tight at 1300+ hrs.

I'm glad you found most, if not all of them problem. It also gives you the opportunity to get a first hand view of the repairs made from the first failure as well.

I took a break from this 3206 for a while and now I am back on it again.
So I discovered something else , I was looking at the hydro gear pump and started to rotate where the driveshaft would be connecting. I grabbed a wrench
and turned the shaft to reverse and held it there while I spun the driveshaft . It was smooth when I spun the driveshaft. Then I turned the shaft to forward position and rotated the driveshaft, well it was smooth for 1/2 of the rotation then gets hard to turn . U really have to turn it hard to get it past the choppy part in the rotation. And if you followed my original post I said that it was fine in reverse and only made this sound in forward up hills. So I think this might just be the problem.

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.
