Default Fine splined rear ends

I'm brand new to the pulling and just rounding up the parts. I understand a fine splined axle rear is a good start. What does the tag number on the rears indicate if anything? What models are a good place to look for one?

Default What class u gonna pull

What kind of horsepower will you be running? If your going to run a stock class, say 12 hp or something I don't think fine splines are necessary.

I believe the number is 720,000 and up have fine spline. Anything that CCC made will have one. It is best to get the one with the two piece carrier.

For those that think HP makes a difference I'll say this. The lower the HP engine you have the less likely the stock cast carrier willl break but, I have seen a number of stock 10hp tractors break them.

Thanks for the replies. Stock class, I want to start out with the right basics so as we grow and modify its the right equiptment. It is a model 126 so it has external brakes right now.

Default Stock 10hp

I've been pulling a stock ten for three years on a stock rear end and a stock 12 for two, and many others in my club have been pulling non fine splines for years and have had no problems. Our track is heavy red clay so it's basically like asphalt!

Default Call me stupid

Call me stupid if you want but I'm all about getting your money's worth out of something before replacing it. Why not run them till they break and then put fine splines in. Maybe you will never break them maybe they will break the first run.

Because things rarely break without destroying something else. I also don't like fixing things in between pulls. But if you prefer to run to failure by all means continue to do so.

Default Fine splines

If your putting fine splines in your going to be putting a different carrier in anyway so what are you going to destroy

austin is talking about breaking the lighter (course spline) rear ends. His point is valid, in that if it breaks it may take out the pinion, or the ring gear, or could even break the entire rear end. Avoiding break downs is as important in pulling as it is in your daily driver. His point is, why run with something that has been proven to fail, and risk taking out more? But, like was stated, it's your machine, if you want to risk it, that's your choice. But just because you (and other in your circle) do it doesn't mean that you should.

Exactly. When the stock course spline carrier gives up. Any number of the additional failures J Mech listed is possible. I look at it as a preventative measure to keep the days in between pulls low stress.

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.
