I do believe you got a great deal. It looks good, even with a missing bolt.

Congrats.

Default 2072 Update

I finally got to work on the 2072. I had to put a new connector on the ignition switch because the old one was so corroded. I knew with the missing bolt that I had better just figure on replacing the transmission case and if it worked out better than great. Well after some dis-assembly I found that the missing bolt was actually broken off and unfortunately the other bolt was also broken off. The good thing is the case holes are not rounded out and nothing is cracked or bent so far. I am thinking some drilling and easy outs are in my future. Anybody had this issue and got any advice? Also I am thinking about putting the new style super steer wheel on it any body done this mod? I know the purist are screaming but I was thinking resto mod with some improvements for this tractor.

Here is a picture of the broken bolts

Take a washer the size of the bolt and weld it to the bolt .i know it is broke off flush but this will work with a wire welder .then weld a bolt to the washer let it cool just a sec. Then it should come right out. The welding should not hurt the case i have done this a lot with good results .the bolts have lock tight and are hard to come out with out heat. Any ? Pm me joe allen

JALLEN,
Yea if I had a welder I would do that but I don't so its either easy outs or mortgage the house to get a welder to come do that for me. I saw the lock tight on the other bolts and thought its going to be tough to break loose. Knowing my luck Ill have to disassemble the case and take it to a machine shop to have them weld the bolts like you said

I need to get the parts frame stripped down and some parts sold to finance this repair. I guess paying someone to do the weld trick will be cheaper than buying a $225 used case. Of course if easy outs work that will be the cheapest fix.

Be carefull with the easy outs. If you break one you will be in more trouble than you are now. Heat it up before you use the easy out. If it won't come out you could always drill it oversize and helicoil it. Just my 2 cents.

I'm not sure where you're finding $225 cases, because most people can't give those things away. Put in a want ad and I bet you'll find one cheap from someone on the verge of scrapping one because no one wants it.

I would not bother with the EZ-out...take it far enough apart so you can get it to a welder and simply have him build up a pile of weld on top of each bolt, and then spin them out with vice grips. It shouldn't break the bank because it's a 5-minute job.

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.
