Sorry I thought you had the type that you can just remove the spindle shaft. If you need a set of these I have a set that came out of a rotted out deck. PM me with your e-mail address and I'll send you full size pics of them.

If I need parts I have a few spare decks, but they are complete and I would rather not start taking parts off.
As a new "twist" the part that is broken off in the spindle appears to be either a tap or an easy out (makes a starter drill look soft). Apparently I am not the first guy to think he could fix this. I may be naive, but I think the cups and the mating surfaces of the bearing assy cleaned up well enough to seat properly

How about welding an extension on the shaft with a new zerk fitting?

Drill through the extension, tap for the zerk, weld on the end of the existing shaft. Assumes that the grease can flow down past the broken tap or whatever is in the existing shaft.

Interesting idea Sawdustdad, but that puppy is stuck and sealed. I have time on my side, so I am looking around for a carbide bit. They are $20 for one that might work and $40 for the 4 sided bit that should work, that is near my pain level of taking one out of my complete/spare decks. A coworker threw out putting a zerk somewhere else, which got me thinking, a zerk won't fit in the cup but I have the assy out, so I could drill a hole in the middle of the bearing hub, thread it for a zerk, lube it, pull the zerk and plug it with a screw that clears the cup when assembled. That would either work and get me thru a season or 2 or the bearings are toast and I didn't waste $ trying to drill out the hardened plug

As a machinist, attempting to drill thru hardened material is a total PITA. You do not know if the previous attempts cracked the tap/ez out. If they did, it'll snap that carbide cutter before you know what happened.

The other idea seems like a good way to go.

Might be totally offbase but I seem to recall the use of a EDM would be the ticket in removing the tap or easy out.

comments Jeff ?

EDM would work but you're looking at $60 minimum charge. Pretty good chunk of change for a common item ( mower spindle)

Looking @ your pictures, it appears that they are the old style spindles.
I replaced the old style on my 50C deck with ones from a newer style
46" deck (from a junk 1720 Deck.)
They are aluminum housings with easily replaced, less costly, tapered auto wheel bearings.
-----just a thought

Sometimes, you can break them with a punch.... if the piece isn't too big.

I took a dremel and cut a slot into the easy out hoping I could turn it out with a screwdriver. No luck. Someone must have pounded the easy out in. I had it under a stereoscope and I could barley even see the seam where the easy out met the old pressed in remains of the zerk. As I ground down the gap stays tight. I also drilled a few small holes in the old press in hoping I could pry it out. It's looking more like I will have to steal one off a spare deck

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.
