Default Ball joints
Maybe one of you guys can clear this up for me. I need to replace the ball joints on the ends of the draglink and tie rod the part number I see on the cub parts lookup is (old #723-3000 - New #923-3000) The local CC dealer wants like $16 each for them but I found them at Tractor Supply; the only difference is the part #723-3018a. I have been trying to figure out if this is the same joint or not as looking at the image on their site they appear to be identical to the ones that I have on the tractor now.

The TSC number you posted does not come up on the parts look-up site. My guess is, it's specific to TSC. Take your old one with you and match it up. Ball joints are not a CCC specific part. FWIW, the ones you get at TSC won't last long. Better off ordering a set from McMaster Carr.

Yeah thanks, after posting I did some research and the one's that they sell the stud is a bit shorter than the original. Not going to work anyhow so no worries. I will swing by the CC dealer and grab a couple at lunch!

I use the ones from tsc with no problem. the stud being shorter is not an issue, i just use a lock nut instead of a castle nut. never had an issue with them not lasting either.

So in your opinion the shorter stud isn't going to be an issue? I honestly think that there is quite a bit of thread above the nut after these were installed.

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.
