Default Simple Question, Maybe?
Hello everyone.

In the picture, part 7. Grill/ hood extension/ head light panel. What ever you want to call it.

Can someone verify the type of metal please?

Cast aluminum? Zinc pot metal? Something else?

I broke mine and need to figure out what metal it is for repair.

Thanks
John

I'm pretty simple, so I think I got this... I'm pretty sure it is cast aluminum.

It is cast aluminum. I had a friend TIG weld one for me but couldn't get it to hold. It broke again right away. I ended up buying a good used one.

Biggest key to aluminum welding is cleanliness in metal prep

Did I spell something wrong?

I really should have checked with an English teacher, that just doesn't "read" very well.

use a file to shine up a spot.
drip some vinegar on the spot.
if it foams a bit, and turns a bit darker when wiped away, it is zinc (diecast).
if the vinegar does nothing, and the spot stays the same or gets shiny'r it is aluminum.

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.
