on my 1200 , I leave the cradle rails in. I drop the front axle (remove the pivot pin) to get to my front engine bolts, then unbolt the 2 rears from the oil pan. disconnect everything else from engine, remove fuel tank and heat shield.
I have done it with front axle in, but there is hardly any room to ratchet a gear wrench , and you would want to punch a baby trying to get those front bolts back in with axle in the way!

To get to the bolt that are above the axle, what I use is a super cheap socket set that I picked up at family Dollar. It came with a 9/16" socket that is shallow and 1/4" drive. It fits in there great. You just have to jack one side of the tractor up a little to make a little more clearance. As a added bonus, the set came with a thin walled 3/8" socket that works on the valve seat on carbs.

After reading this thread and then tackling my 1650, I'm definitely with william1041200 on this. Dropping that axle is easy, and it makes a world of difference in getting to those bolts. Thanks!

The axle does not always come out easy. Jack up the tractor, block up the front axle to one side, and then remove the bolt on the other side with a socket, then switch sides.

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.
