Cub Water in Transmission
I recently bought a 1952 Cub. There was a lot of water in the transmission when I replaced the oil. Where is the most likely place to check for water getting in? Shifter, top cover plate, etc.

Re: Cub Water in Transmission
The water is most likely running down the shifter shaft to the top of the transmission shifter plate. George Willer always suggested that you slide an O ring down the shaft to the top of the shifter plate to shed the water before it can get into the transmission.
it is common to see water in the transmission if the tractor has sat out in the elements. My suggestion would be to drain the transmission and replace the fluid , Run it drain it and then refill it with fresh fluid.
Hope this helps Steve

Re: Cub Water in Transmission
Also condensation is a big factor in it. My cubs do not set outside, but are in an insulated building. They still get water in the transmission. When cubs were used for serious work as they were intended the transmissions ran warm enough to keep it evaporated. I see the same problem in my H, which is also stored inside, but it takes 15 gallons for the transmission.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Re: Cub Water in Transmission
John at 15 gal. a pop that's some expensive condensation!
The 48 I got had 1 of the cover bolts missing and had sat 5 or 6 years. Oddly enough, no water at all in the transmission. No water in the steering gear box either.
