Default Cub 782 front axle on a 122

Dad and I got tired of the slop in the front end and wanted a better fix. So we decided to use a wide frame front axle. The wider tires out back will compensate for the wider front axle. Has anyone else done this?

I put a 1X8/9 front axle under one of my 122's.

If you use the correct wheels (for the axle) it ends up being the same width as the original N/F axle/wheels/tires.

Depending on this tractors intended use, wide rear tires and N/F front wheels and tires looks kinda cool too though.

I did the same on my 105. I used wider wheel in back so the front wouldn't look odd. I also upgraded to 1250 lbs trailer hubs .

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.
