Cub Cadet 4 x 4 Volunteer - Manual (Page 10)

Chapter 1: Introduction
6
The front differential has an aluminum housing, and
an electronically controlled, slip sensing Auto-Lok®
feature. See Figure 1.13.
• The front differential is engaged or disengaged
using a rocker switch on the dashboard.
Each differential transfers power to the drive hubs
through a drive shaft with Rzeppa-type constant veloc-
ity joints at each end.
6. SERVICE INTENT
The transfer case is manufactured by Cub Cadet. If it
fails during the first year, it should be removed and
replaced as a complete unit.
• In the event of a failure, the transfer case will be
called back for engineering analysis.
• If the failure is warrantable, Cub Cadet will cover
the cost of replacement.
• If the failure is not warrantable, replacement will
be at the customer’s expense.
• Beyond the first year, but within the first two
years, the decision whether to repair or replace
the transfer case will be based on economic fea-
sibility and the availability of parts and assem-
blies.
• Beyond the warranty period, the dealer can
repair or replace the transfer case at their own
discretion.
The remainder of the drive system (CVT, drive shafts,
axles, differentials) is purchased from outside ven-
dors.
• If any of these items fail in the first two years,
they should be removed and replaced with a
complete unit. The only exception to this may be
the axles. Rzeppa (Constant Velocity) joints
may be available to repair rather than replace
axles. Service intent has not been decided as
this manual goes to print.
• In the event of a failure, the component will be
called back for engineering analysis and vendor
recovery.
• If the failure is warrantable, Cub Cadet will cover
the cost of replacement.
• If the failure is not warrantable, replacement will
be at the customer’s expense.
• Beyond the warranty period, internal parts for
the differentials will be made available so that
the dealer can repair or replace them at their
own discretion.
Kohler Engines will be serviced as they are in the rest
of the Cub Cadet product Line. They are seen as an
integral part of the Cub cadet product, with parts and
warranty coverage provided through Cub Cadet.
Caterpillar Engines in Cub cadet equipment will con-
tinue to be serviced exclusively by CAT dealers.
