Good one there John.

Well I have decided to get the axles welded and turned down as I have not got a response from a few e-mails so I think this is the way I will go.

Something to think about:
I would think that axles are case hardened, at least in the bearing/spline area.
Welding will cause them to become brittle.
Without annealing/welding/re hardening I would be apprehensive.
the cost of welding/turning back to size will far exceed good used price.

George, I work in the welding Ind and have a few friends with the equipment so it really is no deal in my case and this tractor will not get used very hard as it is my toy.

I'd say go for it. Some of those guys can glue AIR together, they're almost that good! Best quote I've heard about my welds was that my chickens were Pp'n closer together at least!

If possible, some pics would be nice to show the process and, of course, an update if it worked as intended. Info for the rest of us.

Well we got some parts to put the rear back together but I'm still waiting on the axles to be finished so sometime this week it will be a roller again but here is what he still looks like.


I can hardly wait to play with this thing.

Please do yourself a favor and put a block in front of the front wheels so that can't roll off of the jack stands and break the tractor and/or hurt 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.
