Anyone found a good way to clean the inside of a wheel that I guess had some sort of stop leak put in? I am currently soaking it in a bucket of soapy water. It seems to be softening it up some, but maybe someone discovered a method that really gets it cleaned up that they could share. Thanks.

Maybe a heat gun or torch and scraper?

I'll give that a shot tomorrow and see what happens. That gunk feels sort of like tar and does not smell very good either. It is making me think maybe I should run inner tubes when I put the new tires on? Thanks.

-- Turns out soaking it overnight did the trick. Guess that stuff is water soluble. It cleaned up quite nicely with a little elbow grease.

Sometimes it is the little details that provide satisfaction.

The wheels turned out nice, what kind of bearings are you putting on them?

Thanks darkminion_17, I bought these bearings to use: "These are not just another wheel bearing. These are a machined precision ground wheel bearing. Making them far superior to any other wheel bearing on the market today and the reason why all the top pullers and racers are using them." https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Cub-Cadet...frcectupt=true

I put tubes in mine. Seemed like it could protect the rim if ever loaded.
Also a bit easier to get the bead to seat.

I think I am going to proceed with that plan, and still look for some smaller wheels too. I just ran across a guy a couple hours away from me that appears to have a LOT of cub cadets. Based on the pictures he sent he has a lot of amazing stuff and I guess some parts he's open to selling.

IHCubCadet147 -Thanks for the kind comment. Got a lot to do yet. If it looks anywhere near as nice as your 149 is looking I will be delighted.

I needed the set screws for the PTO and was having a little trouble finding them at my local neighborhood hardware store - but they told me where to go look. Low and behold this place had all 8 that I wanted and the price was a whopping $1 WITH tax.

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.
