If stuff gets loose now it's time for a bigger tractor.

Old Haban bracket on left. New Extreme bracket on right. Still not sure why he lopped the corner off. Doesn't make any difference on my tractor and I'd like to see that bolt surrounded not just hooked in place. But it's plenty stout.
Reason the corner is cut is for clearance on the Cyclops tractor foot pads. Don't worry about it, you can actually take that bolt out and never miss it because it's now tied to the rear axle. You did a nice job on the repair and brace install. Did you notice that the frame doesn't twist like it did before?

Thanks for the info. I haven't really used it out in the yard yet. I'm sure it's much stiffer. We'll see how that plays out. My property has some rutted rough spots. With 4 filled tires and the steel cab on the tractor there is all kinds of leverage on the frame on a hillside. Especially when I have the big trailer on the hitch. I'm sure that's what caused this in the 1st place.

When I was putting this thing back together I was just looking at it and started thinking that if the factory had just extended the frame down a couple of inches and captured one more bolt of the axle front and rear this would all be a mute point. 4 bolts captured on each side instead of 2. Considering the torque that old flathead can generate to the pump. I'm surprised many more of these tractors didn't succumb to broken mounts many years ago. 2 bolts per side and very limited contact of the axle to the frame when you get down to it. It really is a pretty weak point when you consider the work these little beasts can be and are put to.

Pretty normal work load for my Super. Up down and across hills and ruts.

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.
