702854boy 409 #1 Posted 18 hours ago Yesterday we brought home my grandpa's 1967 Cub Cadet 122 so I could tear into and replace a headgasket, reseal the motor, fix the clutch, fix some fatigue welds, go through the mower deck, get it all degreased, flush and refill tranny, and probably some other stuff that I cant think if off the top of my head. Anyways, I have been taking photos as I go along. And when we were taking it off the trailer the left front spindle broke so I'm in need of one of those. 5 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 10,973 #2 Posted 12 hours ago That broken LF spindle looks awfully busy. It is the Master side, the RF is moved by it thru the tierod. Is the LF a 3-piece assembly - lower, shaft and upper or are the lower and shaft 2 parts welded into one?? Looks repairable if you cannot find a good used one.

702854boy 409 #3 Posted 11 hours ago The top part that the steering box hooks up to is roll pinned onto the spindle but the part that goes through the axle and the part on the wheel is supposed to be one piece and from the looks of it, its going to be a pain in the butt to weld if we have to because the bottom part needs to be flat since it goes right against the axle.

PWL216 1,147 #4 Posted 7 hours ago @702854boy I have a CC 122. If there are pics you need I can send them along. Mine is a 1966 but I assume they are similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
702854boy 409 #5 Posted 6 hours ago @PWL216, do you know how to get the steering wheel shaft out of the steering box? as my steering wheel is stuck on it and already cracked from age and I don't want to break it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

702854boy 409 #7 Posted 1 hour ago Well with some observing how everything went together I was able to loosen the part that goes through the steering box and connects to the wheels and take the bottom cap of the steering box off and hammer on the metal part that went through the steering wheel and the shift popped right out. It is most likely going back together with a nice coating of the silver cancer. I also noticed that there is a chip missing out of the head so now I need a k301 head. After I got the steering wheel out of the way I was able to take the hood stand off so that I can redo the wiring and weld up the fatigue cracks when I get to that point.
