Hey all,
I started to take my rear axle apart, going to redo gaskets and seals. Looking for a manual or some links for help on this or any suggestions you may have.
It's a 1948 Cub.

Re: Rear Axle Overhaul
The parts manuals are here: http://www.cleancomputes.com/Cub/Cub%20 ... index.html
The How To Forum has some info located here:
viewforum.php?f=141
and
viewtopic.php?f=60&t=48141
Hope this helps, but encourage you to take some time and explore the sight (lots of good stuff on here). Be sure to properly wedge the front end of the tractor and support the rear end. Safety first.

Re: Rear Axle Overhaul
Does anyone have dimensions of the wedges and pictures? That would be quite useful as I'm fixin' to do the same myself.

Re: Rear Axle Overhaul
There aren't any special dimensions for the wedges. I use square stair bannister stock. It's about 1 1/2" square. Take a piece about 6" long and cut it diagonally into two pieces. You'll want to tap them in tight and either run a bungee cord around them or periodically check to make sure they aren't wiggling out of position.

Re: Rear Axle Overhaul
I secured my wedges on each side with a radiator hose clamp over the axle tube. Works very well.
Since retirement, the things I miss most are the holidays!

Re: Rear Axle Overhaul
Scrap 2" x 4" around 6 inches long. Cut diagonally on flat face. Again, dimensions not critical. Worst thing I have had to do is cut off the thin end of the wedge because I made them to long.
I have an excuse. CRS.
