I have a 72 chevy 4 bolt main 450 hp engine and a 61 cub cadet i want to put my 350 in the cub, i have already streched the frame. I was wondering if the front end is strong enough or if i need to change it?

Stock Cub Cadet axels are very strong and hold up very well.Here's a 60's Cub Cadet with V8 Chevy engine.

I built a V8 350 Chevy garden tractor and used a stock 16hp Sears front axle. I used a rack and pinion from a Geo Metro and it steers like power steering. I built it about 7 years ago and take it to cruises about every Saturday. I can show you pictures if interested. My email is flyr150@hotmail.com

My .02 is,steering will be tough,front axle may break from the weight and clutching will be an "issue".

I think that big engine will make the steering difficult. Hal

And the transmission would last maybe 10 feet? Good chuckle though. RN

I don't see the "And the transmission would last maybe 10 feet?" as a "chuckle". I am a retired mechanical engineer and I know that with the right gear reduction the cub tranny will hold. All I care about is the front end.

There are a few articles out there about modifying the Cub Cadet front end for use with a Johnson Workhorse loader, so apparently the stock front end is kind of puny. The basic approach is to weld on some 1 inch axles with tapered bearings like a car and use a matching five-bolt hub. All available from Northern Tool.
