Will a "sleeve" to go over the existing spindle to make it 1" make any difference?

What were you moving that broke the rim? How much weight?

No, it will not.

Doing that will give you a larger spindle diameter and the ability to use a hub and heavier wheel.

The problem with it is that it moves the weak spot to the area of the spindle where the "washer" is welded on and the curved area of that style spindle.

You can weld small gussets on the curved area of the spindle, but the weak spot continues to move toward the middle of the tractor every time a modification is made.

If the axle doesn't break, the weight of the loader creates HEAVY wear, where the spindles contact the bottom of the axle, inside the bore of the axle and on the spindle where it goes through the bore. Not to mention the added weight to the main pin holding the axle in the tractor and the saddle that the axle sets in. There just isn't enough meat on the axle to machine the bores large enough to accept bearings.

The Wide Frame axles are some better since they use a "bushing" inside the spindle bore but at the end of the day all the weight is setting on two 1/2" bolts and a cast iron axle that wasn't made heavy enough for this type of application in the first place.

I do love my FEL but I'm always aware that it's just a matter of time before something breaks and I find myself in a what could very well be a precarious situation.

Not to mention the added wear and tear on the steering box itself with those tiny ball bearings and the plastic retainer that holds them and the pressed steel cups they ride in/on. I can foresee more problems and busted parts on down the road.

Those Cubs have got to be a bear to steer with a bunch of weight in the bucket.
I think a Super w/P/S would be a much better choice for a FEL application.

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.
