Finally got em out but one....I had to use a ez out on two but the last one broke the ez out off just above the top of the bottom set screw.....I think this is the most annoying thing Ive probably ever done.Right up there with the time I dropped a small socket down my freshly built big block chevy...

It gives you quite a sense of accomplishment when you finally get it off there. Sounds like you ain't quite accomplished it yet though. Good luck with that easy-out! They are some really hard metal. Hope you can wiggle it out of there.

Been there on the dropping parts thing. Put new Bilsteins on my 2500HD recently. Dropped a socket, and spent more time finding that dang thing than I did putting on all 4 shocks! At least I found it... The funny part was that I dropped it AFTER tightening the last bolt on the last shock, so I didn't really need it any more.

Well I finally got it off...From the looks of it someone had put blue locktite on the set screws... I noticed that when I took a good look at set screws I managed to get out.I had a friend that owns a tool a die shop and he gave me tip on how to get that broke ez out out. He told me to go get a cheap carbide tipped masonry bit.Looks like a paddle on the end and use it to try to get the broken ez out out....and it worked like a charm...I was skeptical when he said it but I tried it and it worked...Fell like I just won the loto...

I've done that before with broken taps, but until now would never admit to it.

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.
