I know the threads do not go all the way to the top so crud will accumulate, try stuffing tin foil in the hole.

And Stainless while rust resistant, is softer metal so the hex swells and strips.
Your mileage may vary.
All good points I hadn't considered. I'll rethink about this, thanks.

Whenever you have a tough to turn set screw that protrudes, thread a nut on flush with the end. That keeps it from splitting. Also use a pin punch that fits into the wrench hole and give it a few dozen sharp raps with a hammer. That relieves pressure on the end of the screw and on the threads, to ease turning.

Wow, another great suggestion.
This thread has turned to be really informative (at least to me).
Thanks to all.

Whacking the bottom of the hex screw "socket" with a thin pin punch with some penetrating oil before and after , has always done the trick for me. Repeat as required. If the screw begins to turn then binds up again, don't force it, thread it back IN again, flood with penetrating oil and repeat back and forth until it comes all the way out.

Make sure the pin punch is at the BOTTOM of the hex "inlet" of the set screw!


Also: Use good quality US made Allen wrenches, not your Harbor Freight specials!


Also: Considering goobering some grease in the hole after you put it back together , to slow down the rust process. The next owner will sing praises in your name.

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.
