The U shaped one with the one leg longer that takes the spacer over the pin. Real PITA to make. I only made 2 of 'em and they are both on tractors now. Made one by heating and bending and tried to fab the other out of 3 pieces of flat stock. It was somewhat easier than having to bend the stock. Real PITA if you don't have a helper to control and operate the torch while you make the bends.

Sure ain't worth burnin' the place down for!!!

I used an original rod and welded up a temporary jig on the welding table to get the bends the same and the placement of the holes correct, then made the bends, using a length of 1/2" round, leaving a little extra on each end so I could trim to fit.

The bends (approx. 155*), are centered 3" in from the center of the holes which I made at 5/16" maybe a little more.
The straight line between the holes is approx. 9.5"

I cut some small pieces of 3/8" x 3/4" flat into 3/4" squares for the ends and welded them to the bent rod after adjusting the length to match the original using the jig as a guide for pacing them.
Drill the holes in these pieces before cutting.

If you could visualize drawing a straight line thru the center of the holes, from this line to the upper side of the long part of the 1/2 round is approx. 1-5/8".

I hope this is understandable!!
Dave,
Nice job! You'll have to let us know how they work out for ya.

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.
