I would do the repair by drilling deeper and taping then install a stud and braze it in place.

Default cast Iron bolt hole temporary repair
Plan is to drill the damaged hole deeper, or all the way through the casting, use a longer bolt,
or use a stud with "stud & bearing mount". My concern is; how to drill the hole straight and keep it aligned.

I would use a drill bit that will just go through a 5/16" threaded nut that will use the threads as a pilot without destroying them. Then tap the the deeper hole. Install a stud.

I'd then cover the exposed threaded stud with JB or similar and let it harden. I don't think you have to worry about pulling the stud out unless you just got ham fisted on the wrench when you tighten the cover.

Among other stuructural repairs I've done with JB is to glue the front of a Chevy BB head back together after it had gotten shattered in 7-8 pieces in a headon collision. That was at least 25 years ago and it's never caused a problem since.

Hope I don't offend any "real" mechanics with this advice!

I suggested the same thing when he posted in another thread but my suggestion was dismissed. What do I know.

Sam; Rest assured, I don't dismiss your suggestions. What I finally end up doing will be a combination of everything posted here. Thanks to everyone who contributed to these posts!

Know somebody with a 3/4" or 1" piece of steel and a drill press? Drill a 5/16" hole thru that piece steel.

Put the drill bit in the broken hole and use it to line up the hole in the piece of steel. Using the other bolt holes, clamp the steel in place. If the drill bit still slides in the steel drill guide and the broken hole, you're lined up. If it binds, readjust until it slides.

Now you can drill the hole and keep the proper location.

Something else you may want to consider is drilling a ¼” hole about 1” above and below the broken hole and tap it ¼’ -20 obviously you need the drill the hole in the casting smaller. If you go that route put the cover back on and drill through the cover and the casting with the proper size drill for the tap at the same time then drill the1/4” holes in the cover.

I would put it back together with the "glue" of your choice on the cover and gasket, if it doesn't leak then you are good, if it does then, I really hafta agree with Ray. Stop messing around with it and find yourself another good used one, bolt your old one out, bolt the new one in and go. Hydro drive rear ends are cheap and there are lots of them around.

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.
