Opinions will vary from member to member. Some swear by only using black or grey RTV ( never just use that blue crap RTV ) with out a paper gasket, other folks use just a paper gasket installed "dry", as the manual suggests, and then some people prefer to use both a paper gasket with a thin film of black or grey RTV.
I use the RTV with a paper gasket. The gaskets you'll get from CCS are the best I ever bought. They are thick and sturdy, and much better than what the CC dealerships carry. I have had great success buying a roll of gasket material and making my own gaskets. And I pushed the barrier even further by making a rear cover gasket from a 12 pack of Coke using the box, and black RTV!

Take these pictures for instance. The rear cover for my 71' Dodge 9 1/4" rear differential. I made dowel pins to keep the gasket in place as I installed it to the diff. Same story for your Cub Cadet rear cover plate.

Personally, I use a "thin film" of gasket sealer. I never had any issues. I know this goes against the Service Manual. You will have to decide which way you want to go.

If a gasket is available for the application I use it. End of story. Depends on application with a fiber or paper-ish gasket sometimes I will use something like Indian Head shellac type sealer, or even that yellow "gorilla snot" weather strip adhesive, usually if I am going to use that, it's to hold the gasket in place where I have to work vertical or upside down, and don't have a 3rd hand to hold things together while I start the bolts that holds things together. Something like a head gasket always goes together dry, unless the instructions call for a spray copper coat type of a sealer.
In a 1 piece rubber seal like an oil pan or a valve cover gasket, those too go on dry. If I have a 4 piece gasket like an intake manifold or an oil pan on older ones, I will put a bead of RTV in the corners where the edges butt up together. I'm definitely NOT a fan of the"gaskets in a tube" unless there's nothing else available.

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.
