Well I broke a head stud!
Hey fellas I had to remove the head on this 104 it had a stuck valve. Has been sitting a long time. Long story short stud broke! This is the first Cub I've ever worked on. I have a game plan for tomorrow. Just curious how other people would attack this problem.

The stud in that spot is a common one that breaks. Forget the wd40. You might at well pee on it lol. If any penetration oil is going to work, Get some PB blaster or kroil. It's a tough spot to heat. If you do need to heat, I would heat the bolt, then let it cool completely before trying to move it. Be patient with it! Good luck

All good advice.
PB works as good as any. No WD ( water dispersant) Whack it once a good 'en as if it were a nail and you were wanting to drive it in deeper, the shock usually helps. Now we know it is tight because you broke the dam thing off so it is goot"N" tite. So get out the oxy/ace and heat the block around the bolt. then clamp a good pair of vice grips deep in the mouth and carefully wiggle it tight/loose, you don't want to break it off, you just want it to turn, ever so little,is good as it will move more as you work it. Another whack with the hammer will help as you try to turn it. Heating with a propane torch is like pissing on a forest fire, use oxy/act. fast, hot and concentrated. It may take several attempts. main idea is don't break it off muscling it too much, take your time getting it to turn, just a smidgen works as it will get better as you work it. BTDT it works.

Well I managed to get the head bolt out. Thought I would share what I did. Soaked over night with Kroil. Then I took some electronics duster and turned the can upside down and froze the bolt did this for several min. Stopping periodically. Spraying kroil. Put light pressure on it with a pipe wrench. Once it broke loose it screwed out by hand. Thanks again for your input. C.Gunby

That was a cool idea, I have used that stuff, frostbite can be an issue using it for what it is not intended for like making a beer cold!
Frozen wieners any one?

I always pass over vice-grips in favor of a pipe wrench if I can get a bite on the bolt. I have a selection of pipe wrenches from 4" to 24". About the only thing I use vice-grips for is a clamp when welding.

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.
