Question Cub Cadet 71 axles
I've been poking around on Parts Tree, looking up numbers and what not so I can start gathering parts for my 71 restoration. I noticed the bushings in the rear axles of my 71 are of course NLA, so I figured I'd swap in the axles from my 125 parts machine to upgrade to a actual bearing. From what I'm seeing on parts tree, is the axle "tubes" are the same part number, which leads me to believe all I have to do is replace the bushings with the bearings. The axles themselves have a very similar part number. Anybody with any knowledge on doing this swap?

Or, am I just looking at this at the wrong angle here?

Thanks for any input

Pretty sure I read somewhere you could use both the axles and tubes from a 1x3/1x4/1x5, which all had bearings, but you had to use both the tubes and axles together. The axles from the later NF were hardened where the bearings rode on them. If you used the 71 axles with the tubes that have bearings, or had the tubes machined to use bearings, the axles would wear as the bearings are hard and would wear axles that were originally used with bushings. So no mixing and matching of axles and tubes, but use what was together originally. Hopefully this is correct.

I have a 123 axle and tube set I am planning on using on a 71, to upgrade the worn bushings to bearings.

Thank you. I knew it couldn't be that easy. I think I am still going to upgrade to bearings simply because I have the stuff just laying around. And hey a upgrade is a upgrade!

Also thank you for the parts information I will be saving that for a later date

That would explain the one digit difference in the part number. Thank you

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.
