thanks for more good tips...
You guys are being so very patient, and helpful with me and my latest issue with this cantankerous old 125...I cant thank you enough.
In response..... Using the oak is a very good idea.....I think I can tear a piece off my wife's antique china cabinet. I've always disliked that big hulk of a box...... heh heh. I'm just kidding. In response..... I already had disconnected the steering box from the frame before starting on this wheel spline issue....so it is just hanging freely under the frame....but as for resting the wheel on the dash and hammering on the splined shaft. Well,... The dash is just a piece molded fiberglass, or plastic , so it would fail immediately under any hammering. Therein lies the problem of supporting the wheel while hammering. I tried resting it on my legs, but the flesh tends to significantly soften the blow to the shaft, and my legs really didn't like that sort of abuse for very long. It needs to be rigidly supported to withstand the kind of hammering it will take to get this beast free. Another thought comes to mind...but it isn't easy either. I could get someone over to torch cut the steering shaft off at the steering box...then I could pull the column up and out of the machine. Once it is out in the open, I could set it into a massive vise for some serious pounding. But the only thing that does is maybe save the wheel, which I originally didn't like anyway. I feel the machine needs a larger diameter wheel, especially using the loader, which puts a much larger load on the steering. But a replacement wheel would have to be on a much taller column. The existing wheel is a deep dish, and a big flat wheel (which I would want) would be a knuckle buster in this narrow of a frame. The problems seem to go on and on, but it does manage to fill up my time. more news to follow when it becomes interesting. Thanks again to everyone. Jim

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.
