1862 Front Axle failure
I was mowing last evening when the front of the tractor dipped to the left and I stopped suddenly. Initially I thought I just dropped in hole but such was not the case. The front axle had split so the tractor is resting on the ground with the left front wheel and power steering cylinder dangling. Of course this happened at the outer edge of the property and getting close to dark.
I have axle from an 1862 donor that I was going to put on my 782 when I did my power steering modification. I guess that project is on hold for a while. I treat the old 1862 quite "gently" as she is 32 years old so I would have thought a front axle failure would be the last thing I would have to replace. Of course it's hard to know of its previous life as I've only had it about a year. Now I have the task of getting the tractor to the garage without a functioning front axle, getting the mower off and replacing the axle. This tractor is Wisconsin where I have minimal tools. I think I need to set aside a weekend or two for the replacement project. Anyone heard of these axles being prone to failure?

Can you post a picture? Did the axle break or the steering spindle?

Mal adjusted mule drive pulleys wearing into the axle because of improper length belts is the main culprit in these scenarios IMHO.
Is that the case here? The pulleys should be nearly parallel when properly adjusted.

Jack up the front end, place a block between the axle and frame on the good side and drive it home

excuse me if this isn't necessary ( in fact tell me if it isn't necessary) but while you have the front jacked up you might want to remove the deck.

I broke a spindle on my 147 plowing my neighbors driveway once, about a 1/4 mile up the road. I put the plow down and sat on the fender on the opposite side and limped it back to the garage.

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.
