As long as you trust the weld holding them on, you should be fine.

Bolts are not a true 1 inch in diameter, are they?

The fit may be a bit sloppy on the bearing. That may not matter for a puller, the wheels are usually not doing anything, anyway!!



Also, Grade 8 is an alloy steel, needing carefully selected welding techniques.

Welding is a little hard on the heat treat, also,,,,,,,,,,

I would use 1" diameter cold rolled steel.

Serious, Grade 8 is stronger than the factory axle. The welding is the important issue.

I just used grade 5 bolts if I'm going to make spindles. find a bolt with the shoulder length you need then shorten it up by cutting some of the threads off. it works, like the others have mentioned the weld will be the weak point

I think I would worry more about my fingers under the fender than the bolts as a spindle. Looks like a great way to lose a bunch of fingers to me.

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.
