RT65 Cub Cadet - Instructions

Original engine had camshaft made of plastic. Engine had a seal leak on shaft lost oil . Result was seized bearing and stripped camshaft. Ordered a replacement camshaft and gasket. Gasket came in a week after original due date and camshaft is NOT AVAILABLE. Didn't know that at original order. Followed up twice with operator, not email and got a non-answer answer. No idea when part will be available and requested a second contact and update. Same no idea reply. Result is a waste of my time with this company, will NOT use them again.

Remove the spark suppresser, 4 face screws, 2 bottom screws and the two screws the hold the gasket. I also had to back out the top screw of the cover it blocked and prevented the removal of the gasket.

We took our 30 plus year mixer apart. I removed the old grease. There was some crumbly looking grease in the main housing gear section where the nylon gear is located. It looked like it had flour mixed in it. Not certain. Removed as best possible all old grease and applied 6 oz. of new Benalene grease to all of the gears. Now it does not make the slight howl sound.
