Im wondering what is an effective method of removing the front axle pivet pin? I've been working on it for awhile. Even after soaking it in Pb blaster for a few days.

I wound up cutting off the bushing that it welded on to the channel that the pin goes through with a cutoff wheel.

The torch and cut off wheel are drastic measures! Are you using a roll pin punch and a big hammer? If the engine is still in the frame, you need to work from underneath. I assume the area is clean, and you can see the spirol pin. grind it flush with the collar, then, use a proper roll pin punch and a heavy hammer. I've never failed to remove a pin this way.
http://www.amazon.com/Craftsman-9-43...roll+pin+punch The next thing to do is drill it out with a solid carbide drill bit. drillsandcutter.som has the drill bit. That pin is 3/16 inch. http://drillsandcutters.com/dmod316carbide.aspx Cutting off the collar is a last resort and will require a weld repair.

I tried drilling. That said, I did not use the bit you are refering to. I did try the punch and a 5 lb hammer. The engine was out, and no it did not make me happy to resort to cutting.

That solid carbide drill bit will eat right through a spirol pin...just be careful, don't bend or flex the bit or it will break..it's very brittle being carbide.

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.
