cub tranny bearing question

ericlb · Mar 31, 2011

i just remounted the 42" mower to my cub, i took it off so i could use the cub to push snow this winter [ have the factory snow/grader blade], how nice, not to have to turn my head around to watch a rear blade!anyway,late last year was the first time the cub ever had a mower on it, and i had some noise from a bearing in the transmission when i installed the belt pulleyand tightened the drive belt for the mower, this year its more noisy, using the old ear and screwdriver trick, it seems to be the bearing between the tranny and differential, [may be wrong] can i split the tractor at the differential and roll or carry the whole rear end assembly to the rear to get at it? or do i have to completly dissassemble the rear end assembly, [ final drives, tubes, ect] also can i split in front of the tranny between the touque tube and tranny, or do i have to split at the bellhousing? i know there is a bearing in the front too, i plan to run this cub hard this summer and im trying to avoid bearing failure during the summer, thanks

i didnt write the writin right, what i meant to say was to change the bearing, can i remove the large differential cover on the rear of the tractor along with the pto, and top of the tranny and change the bearing, or do i split the tractor, and if so, do i split at the tranny and torque tube,and roll or carry it to the rear, or do i have to split it at the bellhousing? maybe this will make more sence

You will have to split the tractor and remove the clutch shaft which is also the top transmission shaft. You may expect to find the roller bearing rides on the shaft and the shaft may need to be replaced. Aftermarket shafts are readily available.
You don't need to disassemble the rear end. The work can be done by splitting the tractor between the transmission and clutch housing. You may need a second hand to help guide the shaft into the clutch during reassembly. Never force it together. When things are lined up, they will fall together.
