Thanks guys! I got the transfer shaft bracket cleaned up today, man that stuff was caked on there! I think the bearings are shot, but the shaft looks ok visually, no apparent grooves or anything. I'll see how new bearings fit on it before I make the call to Jeff for a new one.

I think there is a state law that does not allow you to use the word "budget" in any restoration threads Looks like your right into it no turning back now due to a little thing like money.
Paint looks like a good match to me. I have restored one but never used one. Mine gets a ride on a cart in the parades at local tractor show a couple times a year. Post on here somewhere? Yours seems to have some of the same issues and looks to be in about the same condition.
Keep up the good work on the thrower resto. And wow that's a lot of wire wheeling! But the results will be very nice.
Regards,
Chris

Thanks guys! Jon the driveshaft is in good shape. The po was good about using a grease gun, just not on the splines. I thought the play it had was a bad u-joint but they are both tight, it's a worn key on the transfer shaft end. For some reason all the keys are only 5/8" long when a 3/4-1" key will fit. I'll be picking up new key stock and putting in the longest keys I can fit in each location. Should tighten everything up.
Chris, I checked, I'm "stay at home dad" exempt. It's basically like diplomatic immunity, I can't be prosecuted. I've looked at your thread a few times in my searches for info. You did a great job on that restore! I've got about 2 hrs with the wire wheel so far, just the housing left, hopefully will get it done tomorrow. I thought about electrolysis, but since the NLA warning labels are intact, I figured this way I could try to save them.

Someone who knows more about this may be some help here, but on every gearbox that I've had apart the thin (5/16") inner bearing has always been marked "Japan" that's why I didn't think too much about it when the only inner bearings I could find were also marked Japan.

I think the seals and other bearings that I have are made in the US.

Interesting Mark, I just assumed they would have been US made.

I got the housing cleaned up today, going to paint rust converter on it tomorrow so I can finish paint it later in the week.

I would have thought so too, but it is entirely possible that the ones I've had apart have also been worked on before too.

Anyone know for sure if the original inner bearings were made in Japan?

Mark, I'd say they were made in Japan. I've got a couple boxes apart out in the shop and I just looked. All bearings in them are from Japan and they had the original seals in them so I'd say they've never been apart. As many examples have been sited as having Japan bearings, I think it's safe to assume they all do.

I got to the bearing store the other day that Jeff mentioned and I went on a spree. I got new gearbox bearings/seals, snap rings, transfer shaft bearings, input pulley for 1/2" belt, keystock, and never seize for $75. I thought it was too good to pass up. I got the bearings and seals in the box installed yesterday. I installed the output shaft and maybe because the seals are the tiniest bit thinner, I have 1/16" of end play in the shaft. I'm wondering if I should shim this out? I know that raising and lowering is going to be moving it in/out a lot unless I shim it. Any thoughts?

I also found a hole in the tube of the transfer shaft end of the driveshaft. After looking at the manual I see they say there is a lube point there. I figured there was supposed to be a zerk there so I measured the hole with a drill bit, 13/64. I ran a 1/4-20 tap in and whadaya know....it had threads already. Need to add a zerk to the list.

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.
