I’ve looked at the manual about how to split a cub, and I understand the safety things like shimming the front axle, but is there a photo tutorial on how to split a cub and replace the main seal? I’ve just finished a ton of work with the brakes and seals in the rear end and oil pan and etc but the rear main still leaks. I will try to replace it this fall when I have time and help and the parts but a tutorial will be beneficial.
If there isn’t one made yet could someone make one during a cubfest? I think it would benefit more than just me!
Splitting tutorial?

Re: Splitting tutorial?
I'm surprised that there isn't already a HOW TO on replacing the rear seal. Any chance you could head down to the Barnyard Bash at the end of May near Cincinnati? It's a great cubfest and you could either take your tractor and get it done there with lots of good folks to help you, or you could watch/help someone else do theirs.
If they do a rear seal replacement, I will try to get the photos to get a HOW TO posted. Have you done a search on rear seal replacement? I'm sure there are several posts.

Re: Splitting tutorial?
I won’t be able to make it to the bash. I have looked at as many as I could find on google. No video I could find was posted as a how to. In fact I don’t know if I’ve ever seen the front end of a split cub! Is tst still doing the rear seals and can you do a straight purchase instead of sending and waiting to have it returned?

Re: Splitting tutorial?
Yes, he is still redoing the rear seals. He will probably see this and get back to you, or you can send a PM to him. He does prefer to have your old retainer, since otherwise he must replace it himself. More effort.

Re: Splitting tutorial?
I understand getting one back to him. Just didn’t know if he needed it prior or if I could split, replace, put back together and then send him the old as a core.
And thank you for anyone that is willing to help make a tutorial that will get posted to the how to section!

Re: Splitting tutorial?
I had planned on separating a HOW TO out of this post I recently made. I had forgotten all about it. Maybe I will do it in the very near future.

Anyway, if you skip the parts that involved the annual maintenance items, I believe this may cover most of the rear seal replacement procedures. I will reread it tomorrow (when I am less tired) and see if it is complete.
