Cub Cadet 3225 Transmission leak

[Mr Mower Man]

I have a 3225 Cub Cadet tractor in the shop (14A-688-100) with a bad transmission leak (trans. model 618-3194). After cleaning the gunk and debris from around the transmission, the culprit seems to be the gasket behind the rear cover (ref. #45 on IPL, part number 721-0467). This particular model is made after the serial number break indicated on the IPL, so it has one gasket instead of two.

But I've never been into one of these transmissions before, and I wondered what else I may need. I see in the parts list that there's a 2oz. tube of sealant (part number 759-3746). Does anyone have access to a service manual for this unit so I know exactly where the sealant goes? I'd like to know what I'm getting into here before I tear it apart.

Thanks for any info!

This will probably answer all your questions on the CC 3225.

Cool. That looks promising. Thank you!

As for the sealant it appears to used to seal the axle housing where the gasket is not covering or that is what I am assuming if is like the other transmissions I have worked on. This not note in the SM for 3000 series but does makes sense.

The sealant is Loctite Ultra-Grey - or it used to be when I worked in a Cubby shop.

Still is which what I also use on the Tuff Torqs and the MTD single speed axles too.
