Kraig McC.,
The improved/better method of clamping the axle channel via a large bolt is diligently noted...
Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking; that the repair wouldn't likely last for long. Although I don't do any plowing with my 129, I do use it on some non-smooth ground often, so I'd likely be better off just holding off with putting too much effort into a quick repair and just step up and locate some used-but-good replacement parts now.
It isn't as though it's my only tractor, as I do mow the yard with my (more-handsome
) 127.
I usually run the "Ruff n' Ready" 129 to mow the back yard fence lines and to pull my firewood trailer out of the woods.
Thanks again!

Jerry-
Did you use the Wide-Frame spindles on that replacment (narrow frame) axle for your 109 or the narrow frame spindles? Did it have any effect on the ride-height of the front end of the tractor? What type of modifications did you have to make to the drag-link arm to make it work?
Got any pictures of this mod? I'm curious to see what it looks like.
Kraig-
Your "I only propagated it" comment sounds like Bill Clinton. He claims he "didn't inhale"...

Jerry H.,
Thanks for the hint!
No, originality isn't important to me on the 129. I do have a 125 with a good front axle... but according the the Parts Look Up link (above) it ndicated it was a different part# (129 is part# IH-759-3270 whereas the 125 is part# IH-759-3011) so I didn't think it would work.....?????
Do you think it would?
If so, could I also use the 125 spindles?

Pops,
Yeah, you're probably right.
They may likely just crack within the threads when I go to straighten them and then they'll break off when I'm far from the garage and it just began to rain...
I shouldn't try to be too cheap
and just change out both tie rods.
Hmmm,,, I wonder if those bars on my parts 125 are the same length?
I should measure them...

Ryan, IF you use both the axle AND the spindles it will work as Jerry mentioned. The axle on the 1x8/9 and Quiet Lines has a different arc to it then the narrow frame axle. FWIW, it is my opinion that there was a bad batch of 1x8/9 axles, I've seen more broken 1x8/9 axles then any other series....
Jerry, good call on the suggestion of a narrow frame axle/spindle combo for Ryan.
Art, no comment......

Glen, if you were to use narrow frame spindles on your wide frame axle it should raise the front of your Cub by about 3 inches or so...... maybe less.
Art, you thinking of using a NF axle on your "rehab" project tractor?
