My new addition and a question
I picked this 551 blower up cheap today. It has a little pain peeling and some surface rusting but that'll come right out.
IMG_5186.jpg When I got it home I wanted to hook it to my tractor and use that to get it off my trailer. What an adventure that was. My frankentractor has the 1641 frame, so it has a steel arm for the lift already there but it's not the same as the snowblower lift arm. I was taking the two Allen head bolts out to swap on the snowblower lift arm and one of them broke off and the other stripped the head out. now I can't get it off. What's the best way to resolve that? Hard to drill them where they are.

A pic of the problem may help devise a solution. Sounds like your bolts are rusted tight or overtightened. We use a lot of Allen cap screws in industry and one of our tricks for worn heads is to drive a torx bit in to one that is worn. Yeah you lose the bit but whats a couple bucks invested in solving the problem. Doubt that will work in your case though since the head isn't worn from constant use.

This thing is what I can't get off to put the snowblower arm on.
IMG_5189.jpg IMG_5190.jpg That's the piece that needs to come off to install this one: Lift-Bracket-719-3097-Cadet-Parts.JPG I thought I could just hook the lift rod to this but it's not right. This thing leans toward the front and the snow blower arm is a little more back. I couldn't get the rod to reach adjusted all the way in. So I figure the only way to use this tractor is to get that off. I hooked it right up to my 1864 because it just has a plastic piece over that shaft that pops right off. I mounted the arm and away we went. I guess I could just use that but defeats the purpose of having a backup tractor.

This is the diagram, but I don't have the plastic indicator (part 19). I have some other metal arm there with an indicator built in. I've seen two 1641's with that same piece. My 1864 has the plastic indicator shown.
Capture.jpg So the piece in question is stuck on part #8, with the two allen bolts through it, both ruined beyond getting them out even after soaking them with PB Blaster. I don't think going Jacko on it is going to do anything. Only two solutions I see are to drill it with my right angle drill, or cutting wheel carefully into the side of it.

Did you try using a 2 jaw puller?

If the bolts are not stainless, weld a nut on the one broke off. Then might be able to turn out. Terrible place to get too. I had the other version with one bolt broke internally. Complete nightmare and waste of 1 plus hours of my life. Could not salvage the lift piece. Just don't ruin the end of shaft where the pieces go on. Good luck!

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.
