oil seal depth-critical?
In the process up overhauling the K321 for my 148R project. Was installing the rear oil seal today and got over-zealous and seated it too deep--about 1/4 inch instead of the 1/8 inch. This is on the PTO side of the engine. It is square in the bore, and looks OK, but is deeper than the spec. Is this going to be a problem? Can't remove the seal without ruining it and was wondering if I need to do that and start over. Any advice appreciated. I have another seal on order, just in case.

I've had them go in a little to deep before and never worried about them. usually there's a groove in the crank where the old seal rode for years so you probably have a better seal with it set a little deeper

Usually the seal from the factory was set a little deep. That way, when the seal was replaced, the new seal was installed flush with the case, so the seal ran on a "new" part of the crank. I wouldn't worry about it. You might only get 30 years of wear instead of 40 years of wear.

I wound up removing and replacing the seal to the correct depth. I was concerned that the seal might "fall into" the bearing. Seems the bore is only about 3/8 inch deep I think the seal was far enough in that it was partially past the bore. Problem solved, only $12 wasted. Seating it flush would have been a good idea, but it's too late for that now.

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.
