Cub Cadet 7235 Front bearing problem

[thiggs]

Hello, my 7235 bearings in the front right axle shattered it seems that I had a leaky seal. Does any one know where I can find replacment parts + a manual. I live in St. Louis Missouri. I bought the tractor about 2 years ago and it's been good to me so far. Also anyone have a fix for the bolts that loosen up on the frame from the front loader. Thanks

You can go to the Cub Cadet website to buy the manual for your tractor. I may have the parts listing for your front end in my manual. I'll take a look later on for it. As for the loader bolts. Here is what I have done with mine. I have the 7275 with a Woods/Cub loader. I found that the present bolts could be swapped out for longer bolts. I replaced all of my loader bolts with longer ones and used Loc-Tite to hold them in. I also have a re-enforcement kit from Woods to stiffen up the loader brackets. I have not had time as of yet to modify my tractor. The Woods brackets are not made for use with a Woods mid mount mower as they claim.

I bought a 7234 about eight years ago at the Western Auto in O'Fallon. Ask for Joe Cronin. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Hi Jim, thanks for the info I have a cub cadet front loader so I'll have to check for any extra frame reenforments from cub. I'll also get the longer bolts and loc-tite. If you can think of anything else that I should look for I do appreciate it.
