Think I found it! 7/16-14 nut, lock washer, flat washer.

I'll write it down, forget often at 67+ years old.

The Zerk fitting on this shoulder bolt doesn't unscrew. I can turn it easy enough.

The diagram (and photo) I looked at, Zerk appears to press fit in other than threaded. Is this possible? Never saw a press in grease fitting.

The 48" deck I'm restoring was left outdoors for about a year. Water really ate the carriage bolts to bits, replacing all with new and of course usin' Never-Seez on all threads.

Sure enough, press in. Anyone know the size?

Drive Grease Fittings
Used to avoid tapping costs for a wide variety of applications.The hole size and shank dimensions are for reference only.The correct hole size depends on the type and hardness of the metal. Fittings usually have a serrated shank.

Thanks again Sam. This deck and the rotted hardware is awful.

Thankfully the deck isn't rusted through. Most of the hardware we're cutting off and the grandsons wear goggles while I use the small cut off wheel.

Even though I have a very low opinion of MTD, this Cub is built rather sturdy. Plowing snow, once adjusted, was a breeze. Our only complaint was the inability to angle the blade from the sit down position.

The Cub now lives indoors for the remainder of its' days.

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.
