Yosemite Sam, Now that would have just been too easy! To be quite honest I never thought of going to the cub cadet dealer for a grease fitting. I went to 2 Napa's, Autozone, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, and maybe somewhere else. Places I thought would carry grease fittings. I probably should start thinking about going to the dealer for stuff like that.
I did get the grease fitting in the one front wheel that takes a fitting. I needed to tap the treads as they were fried. Then I rolled the axle and wheels under the frame and installed it with a big bolt for now. That will make it easier to move around until I get a new axle pin. Feels like progress!
It was easier for me to work on the axle assembly off the frame and in a vise. Once I had it all together I rolled it under the frame and propped up the end of the frame with a cinder block. Then I used a big quick clamp to hoist the axle up into the frame yoke. That way everything was held in place and I was easily able to slide the bolt in place. It worked pretty slick!
