Default Broken zerk fitting on deck spindle
I have a 44A deck and one of the zerk fittings on an outside spindle is broken. It appears to be pressed in (and is not listed separate on the fiche). I found a thread on busted zerks in the front end saying to to remove the sleeve and pound them in. If I pound it in, I am not sure I will be able to recover the broken peice out of the spindle (I have never been inside the spindle assy)
Thanks

Drill it out, tap the hole and put a threaded one in.

What is the best way to avoid getting metal shavings down in the hole when you do this? Any tricks?

What's always worked for me is coating the drill bit in grease then doing a revolution or two at a time. The shavings have always stuck to the drill bit/grease for me.

Just my 2 cents but I would remove the shaft, drill out the broken zerk tap it for a screw in zerk, pump some grease through it then reassemble it. One little chip will trash a bearing.

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.
