Question Steering spindle question

Hi, I have heard about 1 (or 3/4 possibly) in spindles and wondered what cub they are on, would they fit a 149? If it works, does it increase the max capasity of weight much?

Thanks

You will find the 1" spindles on the 82 series on up, i would assume they will take more weight since the bearing is also bigger but how much i'm really not sure. If you're interested in some shoot me a pm.

I have 1" spindles on my 129. They came off of a late production 1650. You'll also need the wheels to go with them.

* 1" used from S/N: 632502 and greater

Ok, I now understand this. Could I just get a different wheel bearings, or would I have to get a different rim?

The correct rim for the correct bearing.

Clay,
if your using the unit for normal duties a 3/4" spindle will work fine.
They went to the 1" for improved bearing life and thrower duty.
A lot of those things are still working with factory bearings on 3/4 axles.
if it were mine I'd leave it alone unless the axles are worn or bearings wallowed out in the wheels.
Then look for the 1" setup.
Now if a feller was ah gonna hang a loader on the thing, a 1" setup would be needed.

Thumbs up

I can't agree more with the above! There is a Cub Cadet 1" front rim, and respected inner and outer rim bearing numbers listed in my 1450 adventure thread should you go this rout.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
