Default LTX1050VT with Kohler 24hp leaks oil

There is a puddle of oil on top of the drive pulley at the bottom of the engine. Can I assume that this is the lower crank seal? Could it be from another source? I don't think this would indicate bad rings or anything like that. Just a good old drippy leak falling out of the engine onto the pulley.
Is this a relatively easy repair? Not sure but the parts diagram seems to show a seal that is or the outside of the oil pan. Hmmmm.

One other question.
Is the LTX1050VT what they call the 1000 series?

As far as the oil leak, I always find it best to spend the time to trace it down and positively know where it is coming from. Better than "shot gunning" the engine with parts.

Yes, that model is considered a 1000 series tractor.

What R said. I'll add, and how can we know where the oil is leaking from,
when we are here, and your tractor is there.
It's a liquid. It can drip and travel quite a long distance,
say like down a frame rail and come out really far away
from where it dripped.

Pull the cooling shroud cover off and look for the highest location where there is oil residue.

Most common leaks are near the valve covers. Could also be near the oil fill dipstick if it has one.

If the oil residue is lower, then it could be the sump gasket.

Actually, you should also check the oil drain. A lot of times it is very loose from the factory. Might need to tighten it with a wrench.

LTX1050VT = Briggs Engine
LTX1050KH = Kohler Engine
Is this a replacement engine?

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.
