Thanks. I have been a lurker, here and on a few other forums. I got the steering upgrade numbers somewhere and would credit if I could find them again. I will post the Mcmaster-carr #'s after I do the upgrade and ensure they are correct. I bought the thrust needle-roller bearing ($1.07ea) washers and Nylocs.
The mcmaster-carr # for the ball joint is 6058k28 "ball joint, shielded, steel, 3/8"X24 right hand thread". This appears to be an exact match for the older cub steering ball joints (at a cost of $4.18 vs $14). The thread on the arm side and the stud are the same 3/8"X24 so that is the rod I used (Mc #98957a805 $3.43 for 2 feet) and used nyloc nuts (mc #97135a235). not sure if this rod would be strong enough to make whole linkages for the steering, but it would work in a pinch
