Default Restoration hardware

I will be starting a 122 restoration soon and am doing as much homework as I can now. This will be my first Cub. Is there a vendor that sells hardware packages? Or a list of sizes used? I would like to go with stainless on the rebuild.

Your best bet is to keep track of all the bolts you take out and make a list, make sure you put a washer on every bolt so it doesn't twist the paint off when you tighten them down.

I have been meaning to go thru the parts manuals and make a hardware list
But it is quite tedious to do so

Such a task could be divide and conquer, if several wanted to take one category and do it. Would just need to define the different categories then different members could complete one and we would have a complete list built in no time...

Yup, I am in the same boat. Definitely use washers as olds said. I just got a guy local to me to powdercoat all the components on my 126, gonna spray bomb the trans and engine. Good luck!

Most of what you will need is pretty standard hardware.. Mostly 1/4, 5/16 and 3/8. I got my local bolt wholesaler to put me together a kit all stainless. Nuts, bolts, lock washers and flat washers. It was way cheaper to buy them in bulk (25 to 50) at the time. If you try to go to lowes or home depot and buy the stuff packaged 3 to 5 at the time you will spend a fortune.
I took all my stainless hardware and put it in a tray with compartments. When my tray gets low I take it by my bolt supply house and let them refill what is low. That way I always have what I need.

Good luck and have fun with your cub!!

I think one of the best and cheapest ways to get new hardware is from Tractor Supply. Places like ACE or Lowe's Depot will 55ยข you to death. TSC sells their hardware by weight, and it comes out quite a bit cheaper. For the finish, consider the CAD coated, which has kind of a yellow-gold tint. It actually looks really good with Cub Cadet yellow.

I bought a grade 5 assortment and supplement it with individual purchases as needed. You'll see some grade 8 bolts mixed in here...
I wonder about the strength of stainless bolts. Probably strong enough, but not grade 5 or 8, right? Just a thought, might want to stick with the graded bolts for high strength applications-heads, axle carriers?

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.
