I am not a welder by ANY stretch of the imagination ( or is it hallucination?? ) so I won't criticize that much, other than to say it was a poor job.

You are right...some people should not be allowed near tools.

My late dad worked for IH for 31 years, so oldest brother & I have pretty good mechanical/technical skills. Our middle brother, however, is not. Place him and a tool box in the same room and what you have is a train wreck in progress. He is a great photographer, while I can break those one-use 35MM film cameras before I take the second shot.

I do like the template you made to get things back together properly.

Let us know how it works.

Regards

Cubby Guy

I got the reinforcement plate made and welded onto the idler plate today. 1/4" thick X 4" steel bent to fit with four 1/2" bolt holes. Something more important will break before this.

I'll weld the underside when I pull the mount off to sand blast it. The deck shell has a couple small cracks that also need a little touch up and some reinforcements.

Nice weather today so I got the wheels all cleaned up and the casters checked. At least the PO had a grease gun and used it. Also built up some of the worn areas on the lift linkage with the welder. Not much more I can do until I turn the water back on at the shop, then it will be sand blast, paint and reassemble time. Didn't bother with pics today.

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.
