Default 1772 broken engine cradle

I was changing out the driveline on my 1772, and I found a broken bolt that holds the cradle to the frame... I also found this under the radiator!

There was a guy on here not long ago (I didn't think it was you Darrel, but maybe it was) who was having some kind of issue with either the radiator, or the engine vibrating or the fan hitting the radiator. Wish I could remember. Perhaps this was his problem as well. Something to look out for in the future for sure. I don't have a diesel tractor (yet) but I have never seen any that I've worked on, or anyone on here, mention one breaking there before.

Driveline looks good!

Wow Darrell, what did the po do with that tractor? I'm not sure what would cause that issue.

That driveline sure looks purdy. Let us know how smooth it is once you get it back together.

Like we used to say back in the 60's
Man like "bad vibrations"
3 cylinders have bad vibrations.
Even numbers are always better
two's a company threes a crowd.
odd man out
no 3 on a match, etc.

I can't help but wonder if the broken bolt on the cradle caused this failure... I think Ole George is right though... bad vibrations! LOL!

What is surprising though... even though by nature these 3 cylinder diesels vibrate pretty bad, this one wasn't! There was no extra vibration anywhere, the radiator, nor the rear end yet there there was a lot wrong with it! Broken bolt on the cradle, broken weld and a stripped out spline coupler and worn drive shaft... My buddy who's a very good welder, is coming on Thursday. He'll patch her up and then she'll be singing pretty!

I got a 2cyl kubota engine that makes that 3cyl look smooth as glass!

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.
