bought a cub. transmission was full of water. gears, etc. stuck. drained water sprayed with penetrating oil. bumped with light hammer.

any thoughts?
 
Acetone has worked for me , if you can't get it I have a cub parts tractor that may have what you need.
 
My experience has not been good with ones like that, I think I would look for a trans. but good luck with it whatever you do.
 
Hope I am correct on this. If you buy an older cub cadet say a 108 or such are they not the same transmission? Just remove the axles and the front/back cover plates. I have heard this a lot of times around the tractor shows. I know my 108 trany is MASSIVE. Hope it helps. Jeffcat
 
So often people spritz a "stuck" bolt with penetrating oil, slap a wrench on it, and start reefing away. when the bolt comes out, the penetrating oil is the best stuff ever made. When the bolt twists off, the penetrating oil is the most worthless junk known to man.

It takes more than a few seconds for penetrating oil to work, if it's going to work. Days of repeated applications, sometimes months, is what it takes.

In your case, penetrating oil is not the tool for the job. Depending on how badly rusted up that poor thing is, there may not be a tool for the job.

IMHO your best bet would be an electrolysis bath.
