Eastwood is selling a really nice 135 amp 110V mig welder for the home use owner. It has received very good reviews and it should weld any thing you would want to repair on a Cub Cadet. It comes complete with a regulator all that is needed is a tank or it also can be used with flux core wire. It is normally $299.99 but is now on sale for $251.97. That is cheaper than Harbor Fright.
Text below from their site. My son just ordered one.

As a home hobbyist or light fabricator, you don't need to spend more for a "brand name" industrial MIG welder. Our R&D guys developed the Eastwood MIG 135 Welder from scratch to produce excellent bead quality and capabilities that match—and even exceed—the more expensive MIG welders for sale!
Backed by Eastwood's no-hassle return policy and 3-year warranty. Try it out for 60 days and if you don't like it, return it for a full refund!
