Default 1512 Rear Cover Torque?
Pulled the 1512 into the garage for a once over before putting the snowplow on for the winter. Wanted to change transmission fluid and grease the machine up. Noticed the rear axle end seals starting to leak, carrier seals little leak and one of the rubber grommets on the gas tank leaking diesel. Pulled everything apart, made a list of parts and placed an order online. Looked through my cub cadet manual and couldn't find torque specs for the rear cover bolts.

Found the basic chart in the front of the book showing 21 ft lbs for a 3/8 inch bolt. Any thoughts?

Also any thoughts how long the axles end seals last? I looked over my records and it seems I replaced them 10 years /500 hrs ago. Is that good or bad?

Thanks

Just use a 3/8 ratchet and tighten them until there tight, torqueing them isn't necessary.

As suspected when I pulled the axle tube.

While the fluid looked good in the rear end. The axle tubes looked bad. Return holes already drilled in housing!

30 foot-pounds will be sufficient for the axle tubes.

The rear PTO installation instructions take some rear cover bolts off, remove the hitch and then you have to re-attach while tightening the bolts to 30 Ft/lbs. I would think they would all be the same torque.

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.
