I have miss matched fronts, and hard steering. Lots of worn out parts! Mine is a 124.

I have purchased a Kit on E-Bay that replaces the large nut on the steering arm with a smaller nut and a bearing. Seems like it made it worse!

So my next project will probably be to break down the front end and replace the axle pin (bought new one.) Also re-drill the left spindle where the bolt goes through to put a larger bolt. It is worn and the hole is wallered out. This causes lots of slack in the steering and limits how far the wheels turn.

Right now my fronts are 16x6.50x8 and one is a turf grip and the other is a smooth rib. While I have it apart I will change the tires.

Problem is all of the tires I have found in that size are expensive. I thought about changing out the rims to something narrower, but have not found any alternatives locally.

Poor old cub needs lots of work to get it back right. The good news is that I dont have to worry about snow like most of you guys hehehehe.
