Default Converting to wheel studs
I want to change my 1200 from having bolts that hold the wheels on to studs. Can I just get the appropriate size bolt (7/16-20x1.5) run them in from the back them get automotive lug nuts to use ? I did notice that all the factory bolts are is grade5,I don't see why I would need grd8. What have other people done? Changing tires without having studs is a giant pain in the butt!

It's easy to deal with the bolts, here is a little trick I learned from my BMW days. All you need is a long bolt, cut the head off and screw the remaining part in the hub. That will make it easy to slip the wheel on and then you just put the remaining bolts in.

Think you can get this kind of info at any other site?

I do this too! Like Lew, I use 2 as well, and I do one more thing: I take a die grinder and cut a notch in the end of the bolt so I can use a flathead screwdriver to install and remove them. I have a pair for cubs and a bigger pair for the lo-boy. as much of a pain cub wheels can be, the lo-boy ones are 10 times more!

I went down to the local Fastenal and bought a 3ft piece of hardened threaded rod. I have converted a couple of my cubs to lug studs. They sure look purdy with chrome lug nuts on them.

Really, you can do it easy..... Kelly's (cubs-n-bxrs) is the simplest. Or you can buy a true stud. Or, just buy the right lug studs. They have a knurled shank on the stud that will smash right into the threads on the old wheel hub. Might even have to drill them a little. Should be able to get what you need at any auto parts store. Just look through the wheel stud book to find the dimensions you need. Usually around $2.00 - $3.00 a piece.

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.
