Front Axle Snapped on my Cub Cadet 129...Rescued by my 149

[Acesneights1]

Was spreading ant killer on my lawn and all of a sudden snap. Luckily parts are pretty available on ebay. Got 2 on the way(figure I should have a spare...) I took a hitch from my truck and slid it over the tail on the other cub for the 3 point hitch. Then I lifted the front of the other cub and towed it in.

Youuuch. Good thing that you can get the parts for it Kenny. The tractors look like twins. :rof:

Had that experience a couple of times on my JD318 over the years so it's not just a Cub thing...

Probably the same FA. Almost all the IH Cub wide frames used the same axle. I was stupid. I bougght two off ebay without looking on CL. There is a guy parting out a 129 right in my town. Duh...

For sure. MTD still makes most of the consumables for it but those tractors are 40yrs old and parts are getting more scarce.

OK, I'm lost. For the learning disabled...(me) explain...:rof:
I have seen them welded but IMHO it's not worth the effort. I'd rather just change it.
