This winter I had some spare time on a blizzard of a saturday and I had this old 40 gal hot water tank laying around. Tell me what you think, I only have $20 invested in some welding wire!

What did you do for an axle? Does it have bearings? That is a great idea I have access to old 75 gallon water heaters at work. I will prob do this as well.

I used a pair of late 90's dodge stratus front wheel hub and bearing assemblies for bearings and the ends off of the front drive axle shafts. I welded the cv axle ends to the tank and then made the frame so that it bolted to the bearing units. This way if I need to replace a bearing, I just unbolt the frame and slide the bearing off.

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.
