I don't use my Cub, I just work on it and look at it, so far it's holding up very well.

that's great, that should be your signature.

im going to contact Xtream and see what his kit is all about. thanks

I like that! Nice job on your spindles/front wheels, very cool!

What about welding in 1/2" thick gussets where the factory spindles are bent? I've seen this done before, and would be almost as strong as Tim's, just not as cool. Also, front hubs off of a Lo Boy, along with 5 lug 8" golf cart rims, would be stronger than what MTD/IH put there.

GREAT JOB on the spindles!

Really wish you had taken more pics!...... :angry:
We'll let you off the hook this time! But next time MORE PICTURES! :biggrin2::biggrin2:

Just a thought:
Why not machine of the bottom of the axle itself and put a thrust bearing between the spindly and the axle like a big tractor. It would make it easier to steer. :bigthink:

interesting point CTRUEX. i just looked at a few pix of the lowboys front hubs. has the same bend as the cubs. your saying i could take lowboy hubs and install them on my axle and they would fit? if that's the case im in.

look what i just found...

Ahhh, much better with pictures. That's exactly what I'm talking about, and here is a picture of the spindle gusset upgrade. Forgive my paint skills.

that's looks good, ill have to keep an eye out for some hubs and wheels.

seems like my to-do list never gets any shorter.

I bought mine from Bob Hamilton. He sells Cub and Lo Boy stuff on eBay, and has his own website. Clicky $78 with bearings and $58 without. I don't remember paying that much. Don't forget the center caps!

there they are...

i have my next project lined up.
