Question:

Does this nut need to be undone in order to remove the stamped housing?

(I'd just take it off to test, but don't have a socket big enough on hand)

I ask because I pulled the spindle off the deck as suggested, and was able to pull off part 6, but part 7 (stamped housing) is seized. I was able to pry it down creating about a quarter of an inch of separation between part 5 and 7, but that was it.



So either it's really seized on, or somehow the nut on top of the spindle is holding it on (seems unlikely as I was able to pry it a bit).

I tried this on both the problematic spindle (middle) and the left spindle for comparison. Both seemed seized.

In other news, I did manage to pick up another 44a deck locally that needs some work, but is in much better shape. None of the deck is rusted through, and the spindles are all sound. And, as a bonus, it appears to have the newer aluminum housing spindles with the replaceable bearings.

Given this, I'll probably abandon fixing the spindle on the first deck, but I still wanted to ask this question as I continue to learn and tinker with my cub cadet. : )

Update: I forced the stamped housing off using pry bars. It bent things up in the process, but at this point the middle spindle was garbage anyway, and I'm moving on to the second deck. I just wanted to tear things apart to see what was wrong.

The reason the stamped housing was stuck was there was a build up of junk/gunk around the bearing. In hindsight, and for anyone else in the same boat, I bet if I used a twisting motion instead of a prying motion on the housing, I may have been able to get it off w/o causing damage.

In dissecting things, I also found that the play was coming from the bearing. I cut it open to investigate, and it was missing some of the ball bearings. How they managed to escape, I have no idea.

Anyway, considering this "case closed" as I move on to the second deck with the newer spindles. Thanks everyone for the input.

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.
