The right side would be hard to do to the fact the steering linkages attach on the right side and all of the other cubs attach on the left side.

I've never done the actual work, but here is what I do know.

An "O" axle is about the same width as a narrow frame axle. An "O" axle is about 2.75" thick at the mounting hole where NF & WF axles are about 3.25". The mounting hole in an "O" axle is 7/8" (I believe) and a WF and NF axle mounting hole is 3/4". Spindles, wheels and tires included an "O" front axle is about 33" wide, a WF (with narrow wheels) is about 35" and a WF with wide wheels is about 36" wide.

That said; if you are looking to make a number of modifications, it could prove to be an interesting project. I'm only guessing but I believe, with minimal effort, it would be possible to mount a NF or WF steering column in an "O" to get the drag link on the left side of the tractor.

True, if you swap the axle and steering column from a NF it could work. The Original steering column is shorter but off the top of my head I don't know how much it is.

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.
