Good catch on the crack. You should be able to V that out and weld it. The brace should also help prevent future problems. Looks like the crack started at the point that the lip on the bottom that is bent inwards stops on the frame.

Did a little more thinking about the cracked frame. You could use a piece of 1/4" flat bar stock drilled for the 4 bolt holes in this pic and weld it to the front mount for the brace kit. I outlined the area that I would reinforce in red and the place I'd weld in green.

Looking good Jason. Might want to do as Sam suggested but looks like horizontal crack too. Always a good idea to drill a hole at the ends of the crack, v it, and then do the welding.

As just suggested I would also drill a small hole at both ends of the crack before welding it. We had to do that when the frames would get cracks on our helicopters in the Marines.

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.
