It is his tractor, his time, his money, he will figure it out sooner or later.

I did pretty much the same upgrade that twoton posted a link to on the second page. Wide frame front axle with shoulder bolt and nut in place of pivot pin, plated wide frame spindles, and trailer hubs and spindles welded on. My 125 would eat wheel bearings pretty quick and the gusseted spindles were bent. I have had no problems since. Like others have said, there are still some weak points, but I have had no problems yet. I try to remember it was never meant to have a loader and don't force the steering when sitting still.

I have a 169 with a loader and love it. I did change the spindles/wheels to 1" ones off of a 682 which both are much heavier. I purchased a super steer axle which appears to be much heavier also just have not installed yet. The wheels will be more forward and turn tighter once it's installed. I would recommend either of these options as a step up from what you are using and less than $100 either way from Ray or Ebay. Yes it's true if you overload the tractor something else will break, but if you have got away with using the 3/4" axle till now, either of the 1" solutions will be helpful!

You obviously don't know the history of the machine.

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.
