Tyler, you've been a great help and it's much appreciated!
I did get those parts cleaned up and back together with your advice, and they move nicely. I used 600 grit sandpaper on the shaft, and put an inside wire brush on the drill to clean out the hole, then greased them and put them together. They work great.
Per your other post, one thing I really try to focus on is doing it right the first time, and staying organized. I have all the parts in ziploc bags labeled by assembly, and I really try to do everything I need to get done while I'm "in there." That's why, as a noob, I see some things as daunting. I wonder how much I need to fix while I'm at it.
You'll notice from the pictures that I've cleaned up in and around the chassis a dozen times, at least, since I've broken things down. I hate to work in a mess.
On that note, while sweeping I found this part in the crack of my garage floor. As much as I try to keep it all organized and bagged, I fear something slipped through - maybe it's not even a cub part, but I think it is:
Anyone that can identify it wins a beer on me. Or I'll figure it out later
