If your 122 is just going to be a toy would you consider selling the headlights? I’ll send you the blank from mine

Probably the best idea, however he did slim down the thickness of the nut he welded on, I assume for oil pan space. Would slimming down a stover nut leave enough locking threads?

Also a good idea but of course you would drill the hole through the bolt for the pin after you have everything in place and tightened to where you are satisfied. Somewhere in the future if you take things apart, will the holes all line up again when you re-assemble? I guess you could just put in a new bolt and re-drill.

Parts have started to come in, and I have started to reassemble a little bit.
I also sent out the block and crank to get the machine work done so that should be back in a week or so.
After some debate I decided to bite the bullet and order a new wiring harness from Mike. The original one is pretty beat and I don't trust it, so out with the old and in with the new.
I will get some more pictures up soon... while I am thinking about it, anyone know what weight gear oil to put in the rear?
(I know I could look it up but I'm lazy like that lol)

Just a suggestion on the axle pivot bolt:
I would like to see the bolt threads just about bottom out in the welded nut,
so there is full support in the axle casting without being exposed to bolt threads.
A longer bolt would be needed and it might be necessary to add some thread with a die to accomplish this.
Of course it would need cut to appropriate overall length.
----prolly just my anal ocd.

It's a non-hydro garden tractor going 2 to 7 mph not a Lamborghini. It's not going to produce any heat, so you can use anything from sewing machine oil to #90 gear oil, it's your tractor. The book will recommend Hy-tran. Personally I think a high quality 20w-50 oil for motorcycle transmissions, such as Castrol Power1 is a good alternative to Hy-tran for gear rear ends. But alas, now the debates can begin.

I had thought of that, hadn't decided if I wanted to bother with it tho, thanks for the suggestion.

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.
