If there is enough meat to the case, drill and tap for a helicoil and Loctite the stud into place. The better repair would be to turn an oversize bushing to fit a drilled and tapped case. There is also something called timeserts--a solid type thread repair, but more expensive.

For me, I would go the helicoil route. Studs are not meant to be unscrewed from the case repeatedly so helicoils will work. Just make sure the threads are all super clean before reassembling.

Are you sure the threads are just stripped? I seen the cases cracked out around studs from levering a stuck saw out of a log.

BTW, now you know why you don't loan out saws. Keep a loaner saw around, you don't care about. Maybe an old David Bradley nobody would dare touch.

There are other types of thread repair besides Heli-coil. Look into thread repair on McMaster-Carr's website. I've used some of the screw in inserts with four staking pins that you drive in to secure the insert. Some of them require you to drill the hole for the thread oversize--follow the instructions. My concern on a saw would be there isn't going to be any extra metal for a larger thread. Face it, the whole object of die-cast is to use only as much material as needed to make the part so that it is lightweight and no material is wasted.

Yeah I am sure they are stripped and are no cracks. The holes go into the oil tank so i have to be real careful not to drill too deep.

I know, I broke my #1 rule by lettin him use my saw. First and last time!! Gonna try the helicoil for now and keep my eyes open for a new half a case. I love this old saw! Its a little dangerous as it does not even have a chain break! But as long as you know what your doing and know where your tip is and you never need one anyways. Thanks to everyone who offered a salution!! Appreciated as always.

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.
