How are we supposed to tell with a 3" wide picture? Clean it up and look at it closely.

Sometimes it's not what you say...but how you say it!!

Get a flat surface and some fine grit sandpaper and sand it till the metal shines....use a wire brush on a drill or some tool and clean the carbon off....the cleaner the better to see any flaws you have.

Hope this helps.....if your camera has a macro function, make sure your camera is stable and will not move and take another pic so we can see better ...and close up

there is a easier way to Clean the head. spray the head with easy off oven cleaner let sit for 10 min, wipe off and repeat. Use a brass wire brush for the harden areas. Then use sand paper. go over it inch by inch to check for cracks.

I myself have not seen "white" under a head like that. Like eveyone else is saying....clean it up as new and see if you can see a crack. What makes you think it is cracked anyway?

Time for oven cleaner . I think it is cracked because I have never seen a shiney spot on a head before, and there looks like a crack in that spot. But I don't see anything wrong on the ouside of the head.

All cleaned up. It appears that the head was once cracked and has been repaired.

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.
