Default Broken shoulder bolt removal tool
The nut of the shoulder bolt on my 782 weld broke and couldn't find a way to get it out without removing the engine.
I'm refuring to the nut that's welded on the inside of the frame.
The size wrench needed will be a 13/16. I took the torch and heated in three areas and bent it till I got it to fit inside of the frame and then welded a short piece of angle iron to the wrench to hold it from twisting, because there isn't any way to get enough grip to hold the wrench.
So now at least I can tighten the bolt and hold the nut until I need to remove the engine to re-weld the nut.

Had a mechanic that worked for me that would do stuff like that with Craftsman wrenches and then take it back to Sears and get a new one for free.

Thanks guys.
It's a no name wrench, but it could have been a good one as long as it worked.
This one can go into the little pile of "usable ideas" not the big pile of
#@%*!

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.
