it's definitely a 1/2" hex bolt.
That would be a "hex headed" bolt.

A 5/16"-24 bolt in most cases, has a 1/2" hex head.

Not familiar with your exact bolt your working on but have certainly
battled my fair share of stuck wheel bolts from rust and crud etc.
Lots of penetrating oil and patients will help. Lube it up, let it sit.
lube it up, let it sit. Maybe some whacking with a hammer, some heat.
Take your time, if you do indeed break it off. You will wish you had
been more patient. Good luck, I hope you get it without to much hassle.

Have you tried turning it clockwise first? Clockwise then counter clockwise. Repeat just to try to make it move.

Guys, I'm not familiar with these new machines at all but could it be possible that that silly bolt/nut is a reverse thread.

As has been said, maybe locktite was used and a little heat may soften it.
Good luck.

It is a 5/16 bolt which has a 1/2" head.
It is installed with Loctite and is fairly hard to remove.
It is a normal lefty loosey bolt.

I use a 1/4" impact driver when I remove them and they are slow to come out because of the thread locker.
I have never used thread lock when reinstalling and had no problems.

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.
