Well, looky there Vrobert, the pin doesn't bottom out at all! Not even close to bottoming out.
1127172212.jpg Tim is correct. If you remove the cage, which you can, you have to make the bearing a full compliment bearing. (Add more ball bearings until the all touch.) If you don't, all the balls can pile up on one side and cause it to bind, or preload the shaft oddly and cause wear. Just add more bearings and it is fine. |

Am I correct that there's minimal benefit to installing a thrust bearing between the cam (part 5) and the nut (part 4) to make it easier to steer when properly adjusted because there is a bushing (part 9) on the shaft already? I've read about the steering upgrades for the Ross steering but that's mainly older cubs from what I can tell.

The bushings have nothing to do with it.
On the newer style of Ross boxes, no, installing a thrust washer there won't do any good. They use a shoulder bolt, so you can only make it so tight. Is there an advantage to a thrust washer? Sure. One on the opposite side where the head of the bolt is would make is steer easier, but you would have to use shims to preload the thrust bearing. Shims would go between the shoulder of the bolt (11) and the plate (5). The bolt has to be bolted tight. But no one makes a kit for that. Just a kit for the other style box. |

Double (polished) washers and nylock nut still does not equal thrust bearing. Bearing is still better. I really don't see any advantage to that over the "original" set up.

Just trying to give a little help. It is better than original setup and its cheap. I can provide video if you need the visual. If you want to drop $10 bucks on the bearing, knock yourself out. Randy

No, lol, I don't need a visual. I understand what you did. It's $10. I'd spend it in a minute. No, I lied. I'd probably get it locally for $8. |

So I went to put this back together today. I noticed the grease is bridging in the box. I used a regular multipurpose #2 lithium grease. I don't think this will work.
I saw some guys use JD corn header grease. I was worried that was going to be too thin because the box isn't really sealed. I think the corn header grease is just a #0 grease. Is that what I need or do I just have crappy grease? |

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.
