Would it be possible to work on the trunnion shaft without separating the tractor?
When I had everything apart the other year - with the tractor separated - I used some JB weld to repair the depressions in the corners of whatever that part is called that has the spring inside. Been working fine ever since but starting to notice a bit of wear on the rear corner where I filled it in. Front corner seems as good as after adding the JB. Good for now, but if it starts to erode again, I was wondering if I could work on it (would be tempted to just add more weld) by merely taking the fender assembly off. Not sure how much room that would offer. Only ever had the tractor separated once and it's not a job I'd care to do again. Took forever to get those tranny bolts lined up. Engine was out at the same time so it was really awkward with no weight in the front or the back. It was suggested to just replace the trunnion shaft but the description of that job seemed a bit over my head since I was told there are various seals in there, etc. Only reason I had so much apart was to replace the cork gasket. It was, shall we say, a steep learning curve for having never had the thing apart before. |

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.
