Ross steering box rebuild

I had quite a bit of slop in the steering of my 1641 that I'm going through, so I thought I would open up the steering box and see how it looks. I'm sure it is loose in the box because I could turn the steering wheel and it was tight at the CV joint but the cam was not moving.

Well, I was expecting more wear on the cam follower pin. There are no flat spots, just even wear like is visible in the first picture. Is it common for the shafts to wear too or would this amount of wear on the pin cause it to be so loose? All of the other bolts were tight and cotter keys were still installed where they should be. The cap on the bottom of the whole assembly was still in place with cotter key installed.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
