In your pics I don't see 5, or even 4 bolt wheel hubs on front, so your still running on a 3/4" axle shaft. Even if you upgraded to a 1" one, it's still too small for all the weight of a loader with a load on it. How about the front pivot rod on the axle? Is it larger?

As far as I'm concerned, a FEL on a stock GT is just an accident waiting to happen. Just not big enough for that kind of load. SGT.... they are a little better to put one one. If nothing else, longer WB makes a huge difference. I just hope you don't find the weak point when you have 7-800# hanging on the front. It is a tractor, but not a big tractor.
Its got an axle and front spindles from a 782. the entire loader bracket is welded solid to everywhere it touches the frame which strengthens that. the rearend for now is stock with welded spider gears. If I brake that I have another hd carrier and axles to swap in. I've already done this with my 148.
as far as those front spindles, i have about 300lbs of rear weight on it plus my 200lbs and had all of that in the air on the front axle with an over loaded bucket didnt break anything. I don't understand why an SGT would be much better, spindles are the same size and the frame is a little longer. same rearend same thickness frame I don't see much advantage.

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.
