About every 2 yrs I snap one. Never happened until I filled the tires with Propylene. I think it's mostly my driving .

Does your 982 have coarse-spline axles? If so, I'd get the axles and carrier from a newer CCC-built tractor with the aluminum rearend. These parts are stronger than the ones that came in the iron rears. You could also go a step up from there and get the axles and carrier from a 'cyclops' series Cub, which has 30mm axles instead of the 26mm axles in all previous Cub Cadets. You'd have to bore the axle tubes out for larger bearings and seals, but that would stop your axle-breaking problem. I'll be putting the fine-spline axles from my CCC 782 into a cast-iron case when I make that into my loader tractor.

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.
