Default Broken mounts on my 1440
Par for course, an MTD that falls apart!

Here are some pics of the damage and what caused it. Notice there are missing bolts from the right side, a broken bolt on the right as well as a missing bolt, and just my luck, the right side housing was cracked! I have a good source here in Illinois in Montrose, who has lots of tractors; infact he calls it the cub boneyard!
I actually traded two snow blades for one complete setup. Almost complete, just missing the raise and lowering rod. No problem to make one of those! Basically, less than a hundred dollars and the problem should be corrected, never to return (I hope)

That is the setup I was using. I believe it is a part of my problem.

I traded two snow blade setups. one was like the one you have pictured here, and the second was the correct front end parts, but was modified to fit another unknown type of tractor. The one I got has everything except the push pull rod, which I can easily fabricate!

Thumbs up
Someone mentioned a bracket setup by Extreme. I am interested in using this setup and would like more info. Pictures would be good!

I have now got to the problem that caused the broken brackets; two missing bolts, one sheared bolt , and loose hardware. I am replacing both axle tubes, and both trany mounts. I also have to replace the trany cooling fan. I have just over $120 in order to get it back into new condition. Both the axle tubes had stress cracks inside, and needed to be replaced. The driveline couplers are in good shape, so I dont need to spend that extra money. I actually found a shop that had the gaskets for the rear end inspection plate and the axle tube gaskets on hand, and for less than $30. Pretty happy about all that! Not happy about having to go through all this right now!!

Thanks everyone for the insight! You were very helpful.

Do you have the correct paint number for the 1440? Yours looks really close to being the color I am looking for?

Good news! I got the brackets for the tranny today, along with the fan for the tranny cooling! Now all I need is the brackets from Xtreme Autoworks. It is intransit via UPS, but I don't know how long that will take to get here. They didn't supply a UPS tracking #. As soon as I get that, we will gitter back together and running again!! Thabks for all the help guys!

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.
