I made it back from picking up the 4 digit. I still need to unload it. I've been enjoying driving around town with it in the back of the truck and talking to strangers about cub cadets! Pics of that later.

WIth Adam's help I got the rear ends swapped. The 5 digit needs the fream welded. So I've got to split it again and get the frame to the welders so he can do his job. I so need to learn how to weld and get a welder. I've got to take the rear end apart and get everything to the body man and powder coaters. Pics of that later.

Default Great!
Duke, excellent! Glad you made it home safe and sound. From looking under the 14 coats of paint on mine, it looks like the lower mounts had already been welded once before, and the upper mounts had both cracked. I wonder if the design itself it at fault, or if the mounts had just "work hardened" after being bent and needed to be annealed, or...? A wire welder is a pretty neat gadget. Someday I may actually be competent at it.... until then a right angle grinder is my "eraser"...

Pictures ?

John

Where in Tn did you pick up that 4 digit? That thing looks awesome! Which Zoo did you visit? My gf's sister works at the one here in Nashville.

John it was the design. The metal around the lower bolts just tore. It's a very common problem. I haven't ever tried to weld, but after talking to DWayne he has me talked into being able to do it. I thought the reason the grinder was invented was they needed an eraser!

Thanks for the warm wishes!

[QUOTE=Methos;126937] I so need to learn how to weld and get a welder.

Duke, if I can do it, anyone can. I bought a small Lincoln wire welder, and it's very forgiving. I like the grinder thing, "an eraser"

Good to hear that anyone can use them! Not that I mean that as a slight or anything.

I love the eraser thing too!

Like I told ya on the phone the last time we talked, if you get a newer model welder even your wife could weld better than you, .

Duke, you need this tool to keep restoring tractors.

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.
