My internet hates me and won't let me see the K30.

Did someone say Cub Cadets?

You wouldn't happen to know of a good place to get used parts would you? I have a 127 and a 147, between the two of them, I'm looking for a lot of stuff.

I've found most of what I need on ebay, but that is for a Super 2072, not sure about the 127/147 though. Might want to check out onlycubcadets.com and cubcadetcollectors.com for some extra info.

Off the subject about the Cub Cadets, but... Does the K30 have the Dana60 front axle? Looks like a great project truck. Appears to be a true Cab and Chassis truck so it would have a 14b FF instead of the Dana 70 rear axle right?

Yes it has a ff 14 and low pinion Dana 60 I'm told. the axle shafts need u joints because when I turn it pops and I think that's a sign there bad. I want spiders but I can't find them on carquest or auto value they have spiders but they are for drivshafts and I doubt they are the same? here is a link to my YouTube channel I just put a video on it. I'm also a sponsored youtuber

Took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about. I think you mean you want Spicer U Joint's right? There are other things that will cause the Pop too, like bad King Pins, or bad rag joint coupler in the steering shaft. All Dana 60 front axle are just standard pinion or what you referring to as low pinion. So you must have a Ford lover around you somewhere. They are all standard unless otherwise being a Ford High Pinion.
