I would like to replace the front axle on my B-112 with a cast iron one. Can anyone recommend one that would bolt right up or that would fit with minium modification?

I don't know of one that will bolt right up, since I've never heard of anyone else wanting to do that. So, my initial question is "why?"

The solid steel axle on the B-112 is much stronger than most cast-iron ones on the market today...

The link below will provide sources for lots of used B-112 parts, if needed.

I intend to build a front end loader and one of the suggestions was to put larger(stronger) spindles on the front. I thought a Cub Cadet type axle would be better suited to this.

They were available with loaders originally, so this this isn't new territory. I have a one-year older Simplicity equivalent tractor (2012) with factory loader.

The axle isn't the weak part for a loader. The real weak link is where the bevel gear box (cross-drive) bolts to the front frame.... You can stress crack the mounting plate there from twisting, since it is a "butt joint" held by four large bolts.

The front spindles aren't the strongest things in the world, but they're easily replaced should one crack/break, and readily available.... I've heard of a couple incidents of those, but that's in 30 years of loader use....

I'd look at how to build a reinforcing plate that connects each rear frame rail to the sides of the front frame, "bridging over" the bevel gear box... that's your most likely failure point.
