169 Tricycle
While mowing today my front left wheel decided to depart from my 169. The axle broke right at the spindle. Part of the break is smooth and the other half is very rough. Almost like it had porosity but i dont believe the axle is a casting. I guess over the year it simply got fatigued and finnaly failed.
I guess I will be looking for a new spindle, I mostly use this one for mowing and I have a 108 I will be using for plowing and other none mowing type needs. Any idea why this broke, i haven't hit anything recently but im sure through its life its hit plenty. Maybe a defective part that took a very long time to finnaly fail?

Very strange. How well do you know the history of your tractor or how long have you had your tractor? Look carefull at the smooth half and see if someone at some time tried to saw through it for some reason. Almost looks like someone sawed through it half way and then stress and time did the other half. I'm not for sure though and I haven't heard of this one before....

Thanks guys. I know the tractor pretty well as my grandparents bought it new for my dad when he was a kid. As my grandparents got older the neighbor kept it running. He ment well but rigged a few things. I dont believe it was cut or anything. I think it was maybe a defective part or it got bumped a few times and fatiged it.
How much is involved to convert the front to the larger 1 inch spindles? Just spindles and new bearings for the wheels or new wheels also? Thanks everyone for the info

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.
