Repairing cracked quietline aluminum muffler box -alumaweld
My muffler box was cracked, as a lot of them are. The correct way to fix this would be to have it tig or mig'd. I don't yet have an aluminum setup for my mig, and I didn't have the time to find a local source to tig this back together.
What I did have were some alumaweld sticks: http://www.harborfreight.com/8-piece...ods-44810.html so, I thought i'd experiment, and use them to make the box servicable. Seemed to work fine, and everything is back together. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k4...g?t=1376077315 There are lots of "how-to's" on using alumaweld on youtube if you search "alumaweld welding" Basically, what I found was that you need a decent size tip on your torch (I used a propane mix plumbers torch), and heat the box up until you can touch the rod to it, and it flows almost like a real weld bead would flow. Once it flows then you drag the alumaweld stick across the joint, and let it cool.

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.
