I presume this is the style head you are talking about?

big hubs and spindles. If yours are shot then by all means you should.

Yes, that is the style of head I'm talking about.
If the kingpin bores are shot, that's 90% of the work right there. You'll have more fixing them than anything. If the spindle carriers are also shot, you will still need those to be able to weld the spindles for the hub style wheels on. You're cheapest bet is to just buy a used front axle assembly for a narrow frame that is in good shape. You don't need a beefier front end for what your plans for the tractor are. |

If you want to make a road trip to Cortland I have an axle assembly out of a 582 with spindles, drag link and tires and rims. Tires are shot but everything else is in decent shape.I'm sure we can work out some kind of deal. Quite sure it has 1" axle spindles.

I'm aware of how NF front axles are built. I'm also aware of how "weak" they are.... We used to sow all of our hay ground with a 71. (We sowed in 3rd gear as fast as you could run over tilled farm ground, or planted wheat. Not a smooth road, or in a low gear.) When it was about 30 years old, we broke the first spindle. Mind you that was 30 years of mowing, sowing seed, dragging wood out of the woods to heat the hog barns, and we had wore out 2 engines and it was on it's third. I'm telling you, they are only weak when you do something to them far beyond what they were meant to do, like install a loader, or have an accident. The original "weak" spindle will last your lifetime and probably your childs. If you are just doing this to do it, that's up to you..... I just want you to know that is the only reason to do it. Not because they are "weak" and need upgraded. |

fair enough, I am still not sure what I am going to do, but I appreciate knowing that if I decide to leave it in stock configuration I will not have issues.
I did have a question about the port/polish, would you recommend doing that before or after the machine work? HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! |

I'd do it before the machine work. That way if you accidentally hit a valve seat, it can be fixed. Plus, the machine shop will hot tank the block before boring, and clean it after. It will be clean when you get it back.
Merry Christmas! |

Spindle upgrade is a fun little project and, In my not so humble opinion, looks cool. Looking forward to seeing it!

Kind of what I thought.

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.
