Default Those specially shaped bolts....
I knew these were going to be crusty, so I PB Blasted them thoroughly before I started working on them with a 6 point box wrench.

They all came out (carefully).

These are the bolts holding the seat frame to the fender pans on my super scruffy 122 (that is now my go-to tractor).

I was SURE I was going to snap one off, but all three came out (the DPO only had three in , thankfully!)

Good deal ! they were on shaky ground for twisting off ! PB is as good as any, the key to any penetrant is giving it enough soak time to work !

Yeah I think I got my moneys worth out of these.

I got these to move a bit with some gentle wrenching and PB , the flooded em with more PB and more back and forth.

I got lucky!

Those are definitely special looking fasteners. Another NLA item. Maybe Jeff can whip out a few for you.

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.
