1450 Rear End Broken bolt. (Tiller installation)
So today I was installing my new tiller attachment getting ready for spring. Removed the tongue hitch 3 bolts, and the two smaller bolts higher up on the cover. Put the gearbox on with new grade 8 3/8 16 1" bolts. Everything going good. Tried to reuse one of the smaller bolts on the most bottom hole. Got it on, one more little turn to tighten it up, snap. The bolt head sheared off.
 Went and got the extractor kit. Drilled out the middle of the bolt. Put the extractor tool in. Gave that a turn. And snap. The extractor tool is now broken off in there. So now what? I put the gearbox on tightened it down, hoping it wouldnt leak. It has a slow leak. Now what? Should I get some more reverse drill bits? What kind would drill through hardened steel? Continue trying? Or... Take the whole cover off, clean it out, use make a gasket and do it extra there, and put everything back together hoping that it wont leak? Lesson learned here, replace all bolts with new ones. I was trying to save $1? ? ? NOT WORTH IT!

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.
