129 Floor board removal help
New to me 129 is in need of some small clean up and I want to repaint the footboards. However, the slotted screw heads are not coming off easily at all. Before I get out the dremel to cut off these stubborn guys, I'd like to know if the nuts on the underside are welded to the floorboard, or are they simply threaded to the screw? Thanks to all willing to answer a rookie question!

Yes they are welded, and always seem to be a pain, sometimes you can take the sides off the heads and remove them with vice grips. Start soaking with PB blaster, or my favorite, Kroil.

 Those nuts on the bottom are welded on . And the best way I know to get those screws out is a Hand impact or a pair of needle nose vise grips and a lot of PB Blaster. When you replace them I would just replace them with some grade 8 bolts so you don`t have to worry about it anymore . The 129 is a great cub with lots of power have fun with it and

Thanks for the super quick replies. I soaked them with PB yesterday, so I'll give them a try tonight or tomorrow.
I'll get some pics up after a quick pressure wash. It has the 38" deck and the 42" snow thrower. Looking to use this, versus restore it, but I've been known to have issues with knowing when to stop making things look nice!

A member her suggested I use a small cold chisel to remove them. Put the it in the slot at as much an angle as possible and try tap them with a hammer to the left. Unfortunately, I got this tip after I used a grinder on one of them.

I've never done it, but I thought I saw where someone recommended that you weld a nut to the top of them and get them out that way.....I would probably use this technique as a next to last technique, next to cutting them out.

Oh, that sounds like a good suggestion. I tried again tonight but they were still in there good. Shot some more PB on them and will try again with a chisel.

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.
