Default 109 diff assembly.

Is there only 4 bolts holding that assembly in frame??

Are they all the same length?? In particular the left rear one??


The reason I ask, is the other day, I happened to notice a loose bolt. Upon further investigation, I found there was no bolt in left rear. Checked other side. Front bolt tight, rear loose. Removed the loose one, went and got grade 5 bolt. Tried to put bolt in LR, and found it seem bolt is broken off about an inch in. Before I go drilling for easy out I want to make sure I'm not drilling the casting. Service manual isn't clear on this.

IIRC, there are six (6) bolts [3 on each side], that go through the frame to the Axle Tube Housings. Then, there are two (2) brackets [four bolts] that aid in the anti-rocking action and for additional support.

If you go to the Parts Manual for your model, you will see that they (6) are different lengths.

IIRC again, I believe they are all Grade 8 bolts.

Thanks Roland and Sam.

I see all 6 bolts now, but the rear one on left side has presented a problem. If I follow the parts correctly, they are only 1 inch bolts on that side. If so there are no threads there at all---gone.


BTW according to markings on the existing bolts they are grade 5, just 3 lines.


So now, it's a helicoil, or drill holes larger, and rethread. Unless there are alternate suggestions.

I had a few broken bolts on my 1450. I went the extra route and pulled the rear end out of the tractor. Pulled the Axle housing(s). and removed the broken bolt. Once I had all the correct bolts and gaskets, I re-assembled everything. All is good.

I would pull it and do as Roland suggested but if it's only the rear one you can pull the cover and put a rag over the bolt hole to catch any drill chips. That hole is between the diff carrier and the cover. The pic is from a later aluminum case but the arrow points to where the bolt comes into the case.

I had a more severe version of that problem with my 1440, (had 3 broke off). I pulled the entire rear end out, and was able to get the busted off bolts out with heat and ez-outs. There was some wallering out of the holes on the frame so i put the bolts back in with washers and welded the washers to the frame to take up the slop.

OK, so here is what I did for temporary patch up.


There are NO threads left in the casing. So, I used a sliver of aluminum sheet cut about 1/4 inch wide, and in inch long, bent a tad to shape to hole. I tapped, with a small hammer, the bolt just a bit to get started, and low and behold it threaded in. I snugged it but didn't dare torque it up.


Seeing as how that bolt has been out quite some time by looks of it, that should hold it until I get one of the other tractors mobile again. There shouldn't be hard stress work again this winter.


Once I get the 1450 up and running, then I will drop the assembly from the frame and do a more substantial repair.

Thinking of heli-coiling. That should be permanent repair.


BTW I pulled the same bolt from 1450(don't know why I didn't think of that before) and the threads are not real healthy in it either, but it did thread back in and took a good torque, so should be ok. I will keep an eye on them from now on.

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.
