1450 Trunnion Repair Braze Method
After I fixed my melted charging wires, swapped out my bad ignition switch, and replaced the voltage regulator. It was time to work on my trunnion. I looked to find a new trunnion arm..$250-$300. I read some posts on the keystock braze method. I have never brazed anything so I bought a small brazing setup for ~50 bucks at Menards, flux coated brazing rods, keystock, and a 5/8 washer as a shim which I ground down to ~.020 on my grinder because I'm too cheap to go to fastenal and get a precision shim for too much money..+ the time it takes.
My brazing skills need work but it is stuck on good and my hydro doesn't care if its not perfect. I wrapped a wet rag around the arm, painted it with flux, got it cherry red with the torch, added the flux covered brazing rod and "flowed" the puddle with my mini torch to the best of my ability. Thanks for the guidance..no more jerky operation. PS next I need to fix the plastic fan and inspect the rubber/rag coupling. It looks slightly frayed. Maybe that needs to be replaced. Is that a big job? and what about the hydro cooling fan?

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.
