I don't use my Cub, I just work on it and look at it, so far it's holding up very well.

I like that! Nice job on your spindles/front wheels, very cool!

What about welding in 1/2" thick gussets where the factory spindles are bent? I've seen this done before, and would be almost as strong as Tim's, just not as cool. Also, front hubs off of a Lo Boy, along with 5 lug 8" golf cart rims, would be stronger than what MTD/IH put there.

GREAT JOB on the spindles!

Really wish you had taken more pics!......
We'll let you off the hook this time! But next time MORE PICTURES!

Just a thought:
Why not machine of the bottom of the axle itself and put a thrust bearing between the spindly and the axle like a big tractor. It would make it easier to steer.

I bought mine from Bob Hamilton. He sells Cub and Lo Boy stuff on eBay, and has his own website. Clicky $78 with bearings and $58 without. I don't remember paying that much. Don't forget the center caps!

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.
