Default Broke a Front Axle!

So I've been working the 149 doing some landscaping. Probably loaded out about 15 yards of dirt and scraped off a bunch of sod. Today I was peeling back the dirt from the curb on my neighbors yard and had a bucket of sod and gravel. Not a big bucket either. I bounced up the curb and all of a sudden the "bounce" went out of it. Crash!

I suspect as I climbed the curb at a diagonal, all the weight was on one front tire and that's the side that snapped. Bit of a chore getting it back to the garage.

So now I'm hunting for an axle. Looks like Ebay is going to be the place, but the listings are pretty haphazard as to what they say it fits. Is there a list of tractor models that will cross over to the 149?

Good news, now I can go salmon fishing until I get an axle.

Sorry about the axle but there is no better time than the present to go
Salmon fishing. Or any fishing for that matter. Hope it goes well on both
counts.

Put the fishing rod away and pick up the stinger with Nickel welding rod.
"V" it out good and weld er up, plating the top/bottom using a skip weld.
Do not weld the longitudinal end of the plate, just the edges.
Next when the replacement axle comes in, you have it for when you break the udder side.
Oh, remember you are way over taxing a "garden tractor"
Best to get a SCUT.

Roland, thanks for the part number. I have the right one coming in about three or four weeks. This one doesn't come with the optional deep V's wore into the web of the axle.

Ken, your advice is way ahead of 0le' George's!

Ole'George, that did cross my mind, but looking at those lonely fishing rods quickly pushed those thoughts aside.

I had just finished adding a weight rack to my weight rack to hold the JD weights I pickup up cheap a few weeks ago. But that helped keep the weight off the front as I limped back to the garage with snowmobile dollies under the bucket lip. Kind'a like steering a drunken, three legged pig by pushing on it's shoulders.

A friend of mine pulls with his cub. He said their group fabricates their front axles as a replacement for the cast unit. He claims the fabricated axle is much stronger.

Just a thought...

^^^ And a good thought too....

I may do that as a winter project since this is going to remain a loader tractor. Could easily oversize all the pins if building new. Possibly even a slightly wider stance with a lock link for sidehills.

You do realize all that weight hung on the rear end is just asking to break shit back there don't you?
Not hammering on you, just saying.
Those rear axles are just 1"Dia. and if you have disc brakes they will snap where the disk is welded to the axle.
seen it before.
Luck!

310 pounds on that rack. Doesn't seem too excessive if I see some of the weight boxes hung way back of the tractor.

Hope you don't get to say "I told ya so"

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.
