Strange 1650 front spindle setup.
Drug this parts Cub home today for the engine.
Tires were all flat so I put spares on to make it easier to move. It has 3/4" spindles with these odd ball 1" sleeves and bearings for wheels that take 1" bearings. One was frozen to the sleeve which was stuck on the spindle. You guys ever seen anything like this before on a cub of this era? It's a Feb 1975 build. |

I'd say somebody made a sleeve to run 1" wheels on 3/4" axles. No harm in continuing to run it that way with new bearings.

Looks like someone went to the trouble to build an adapter to use 1" bearings.
OR: The spindle was worn and an adapter was made to repair it. Either way nice job. Much better than JBweld/ duct tape. |

The sleeves were worn on both ends where the bearing race was spinning on the sleeve.
Once I got them off, the original 3/4" spindle was in fine shape. The wheels themselves were in really great shape. The bearings were the sealed on both end type and the one that I had to bust up was pretty dry inside too. Maybe someone got new wheels not knowing they were not 3/4" and did the sleeve thing?? Anybody's guess at this point. |

1" bearings are heavier duty than 3/4" using a blower , loader , blade they'll hold up better

Only issue with it is what you already found out. The sleeve was not hardened so the bearing likely wore it easily. The tolerances may not have been correct either. I think its worth the effort to do it if done correctly. I would think Jeff inPA would be able to make the sleeves. I can do it in my shop as well and now I know a guy to temper steel for me but I'm not in this business really. Not sure why the PO wouldn't just find a bearing number for 3/4 spindles and larger hub size I would imagine they exist.

If you want 1" spindles, I believe the ones from a 782 will fit.

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.
