Default Cast Iron Rear End Swap
Hey guys, I know you guys have talked about using an older CI rear end with the guts of my 1572 Aluminum, but I wasn't able to find any threads on the swap.

If there is a procedure, or if someone has already done this could you help me out? I have several external brake CI rear ends, just need to know a) if I can do it myself, or b) I need to get someone to do it for me.

He's the only guy I recall ever doing it. Not worth the trouble. Only thing to gain is some weight. You can do that with fluid filled tires and wheel weights.

Thx Jonathan, figured if I’m replacing axle seals and Hydro to Diff gasket, might as well ask.

I have a 2072 with a CI rear. Bought it that way. It has way more torque than all my other supers. It literally pulls the front wheels off the ground if you slam the hydro lever forward. None of the other 25 + supers I have had did that. Not saying it is the rear just saying what it does

Much appreciated Charles. I believe I have found all the parts I need to convert to a CV shaft w/o the Disconnect Clutch

FYI - I stayed with the aluminum rear end, added braces to support the broken case. Works perfect now.

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.
