Default footplate screws
For the life of me I can't get the screws off the footplates. I was hoping to have the fenders off by the end of the day but it fought me all day those screws. I got two off by chiseling them loose. I guess it works but a few are being stubborn.

If you have a welder you can weld some nuts on top of the screws. Use a 5/8 nut and weld thru the center of the nut. I did that and it worked out.

Then, where do you get bolts to replace them. I can't seem to find them anywhere.

I have been successful using a VERY large screwdriver and a crescent wrench on the screwdriver's square shaft to turn the screws out. PB blaster helps, too, I think. A firm rap with a hammer on the end of the screwdriver might help break them loose, too.

I have been able to grab them with ViseGrips. Either they come out, or the head shears.

If the head shears, then you can get a better grip on the remaining bolt once the pan is out of the way.

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.
