Default Yep, it happened.


I was using the FEL on the 1772 a little hard the last few days and I cracked the frame where the power steering ram mounts to the frame. Never mind the half-a$$ed spacer I had to use to clear the mount. I was gonna change that someday when I had my shop but I ain't there yet.

IIRC this isn't an easy fix. Has anyone had any luck repairing them?

Ouch! That sucks big time. I defer to others on the fix.

Take the mount off, v grind the crack and weld it. If you do it well, only need to weld the one side. I suggest adding a plate to the inside of the frame for added support. Or at least a flat bar between those to bolts where it cracked. Don't need to weld it in. Just use the bolts and sandwich the frame.

A spacer plate instead of those washers might help too.


This is an area of frame breakage I posted about a few months back. (And got called crazy and paranoid.) I've seen like 3 or 4, 982's broke there. (No power steering.) I think all those holes together make a weak spot on the frame. I've only seen the 9'S break there. This is the first tractor break there that had ps that I've seen/head of.

Yes, I have read several posts on different things people have tried with no luck. What stinks is this 1772 is in awesome shape with all original paint.

Thanks Jon. I need a good kick in the arse. I was flexing the frame too much lifting one rear wheel off of the ground trying to clean up some stuff on the burn pile.

Well Todd time to test out your welding skills and the Esab. I will add to what has been stated that you should drill a small hole at each end of the crack as well before welding.

Do your loader mounts stretch back to the rear axle?

Mike, I think there is about a 1/2" hole at both ends of the crack.

I started to state that too..... then thought about it a little more, lol.

I’d like to see the crack without the mount on there, looks like it’s above the big holes?.

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.
