Default A very helpful wide frame rock shaft replacement tip..

I just got finished replacing the roll pin on my sons 149 that was below the lift cylinder inside the frame. We tried for over an hour to remove the broken pin,but had no movement. I used several size punches as well as an air chisel to hit on long punches etc,but it still was in the shaft.I soaked it with PB Blaster for a day or two or more too.. After looking at a 1450 frame we parted out,I seen the trouble immediately. When you look from under the machine there is a hole on each side of the frame for access to the roll pin. But, on the right side of the machine,the hole doesn't line up with the pin and you actually are trying to punch it sideways making it alot more difficult. On the other side,the pin lines up good and you have direct access to hit it..

This is the left side. Notice how the pin aligns with the hole...



This is the right side of the frame. Notice how the access hole doesn't line up with the pin?



You can see the pin in this shot...





To remedy this,all one needs to do is use a grinder,sawzall iet and notch the frame piece to look like the opposite side. I do not know why they did this but every wide frame I have looked at has the same situation. I sawzalled the piece off and hit the pin sqaurely and drove it out in 3 hits and less than 2 minutes.It appeared that before,I was actually hitting the pin sideways and not making any headway. Hope this helps some others too...

That isn't an access hole for the pin. I'm pretty sure that's where the toothed ratchet bracket for the manual lift tractors bolts to the frame...

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.
