Default Heim joints and boots
Just received heim joints to replace stock rod ends in my 127. I'm thinking of ordering heim boots from a company called "seals-it". They are boots that completely cover the joint. I figure they might help given the amount of greasy crap caked into my current rod ends. They appear to be more protective than the rubber end seals with the integral washer (these are also made by the same company).

I'm looking at the heim joints that you can grease, 20 bucks for the pair from CC Specialties . Those boots would be a smart idea

I considered those and I usually like to support the sponsors but McMaster-Carr has the identical product for $6.20 (item 444T931). I placed an order with them on Wed evening at 9pm and the box was at my door the next day when I got home from work and the shipping was only $4.00 on a $60.00 order. You can't beat that. Also, I think an unprotected heim joint on a tractor is going to get exposed to some pretty nasty stuff. I have read where people use the boots and once installed pack them with grease.

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.
