Default axle shaft housings

aluminum versus iron... Do the aluminum housings have problems if everything is kept tight, or do they only break with loose bolts?

I have access to iron ones for my 1810, but don't need to bother pulling them if they aren't really needed. Installing iron on an 1810, is this a 100% straight swap, or are there other modifications that are required?

There is nothing wrong with the aluminum ones if they were kept tight. You could put the CI in but you should also change the guts to get the fine splin axles from the al to the ci. I do recommend putting a rear hitch plate on the frame to stiffen it up.

If your considering just the axle tubes I don't think that will work, as one is shorter than the other on the cast iron ones, the aluminum are fine if you keep the bolts tight like Oak said.

thanks guys! I'm not having any trouble, so I'll leave well enough alone. I will look into the frame hitch though if it is still with the donor.

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.
