I have a thin 7/16" wrench that I use to hold the bottom nut, Then I use another 7/16" wrench to turn the top nut. Try to just barely turn the top nut back and forth, sometimes they will break loose and sometimes they are hard to unscrew almost to the end.

You gotta be real patient with them, cause it don't take nuthin to break them off.

Don't use a ratchet and socket on the top nut... You can't see what you're doing and you have to keep flipping the switch back and forth.

And if you turn the outside nut and not hold the lower one it will turn the whole thing and do damage on the inside where it is connected to the inner workings.

Not those. The ones that hold the field coils onto the side of the housing.

Agreed, or if you dont have one pb blaster and start it with a center punch/hammer and it should move but be careful not to damage them if you are reusing. I'm buying a rebuild kit for mine that comes with new screws, my field coil is open. What's up with yours?

For what it's worth, if you snap a stud off, it's fairly easy to find replacement studs. It's a little more difficult to come by #12 nuts in the hardware store though. Ended up buying about 100 from McMaster.

I've got a couple of s/g that I parted out and pieced together. One we took the screws out, as suggested, with a hand held impact wrench. Broke the tip though. Another, I tried removing the screws with a punch and hammer, but just started mauling the surface of the screw so I stopped. So be careful and good luck!

Alvy, where did you find a rebuild kit that includes screws? All I've ever found is kits with bearings, bushings, and brushes.

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.
