Check those weight bolts

Postby Barnyard » Mon Jul 22, 2019 3:46 pm

I was mowing yesterday and without paying attention I backed into the right front tire of one of my Cubs pretty hard with my drawbar. No damage done as far as I could tell. Later I approached the left side of the Cub from a different direction and found this.

I'm glad I wasn't transporting this on the trailer and hit a rough road. The bolts were rusted clean through.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Man that could have been bad. I don't think mine have ever been off, I was thinking of new bolts for mine for this winter as I am thinking about 2 sets of weights & chains for snow duty as we are moving to a new place up in the mountains. Either way I'm gonna check em now thanks for letting everyone know. TJ

You just motivated me to pull and check mine, and replace.

There have been multiple conversations here on the forum about how to
go about removing rear weights - engine hoists, 4x4's, floor jacks...
That's a new one Bill !! :bellylaugh:

Time to paint up the rim and rim center too get the rust protection stuff ready.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.
