So right now both my Cubs are down for major repair, as the grass grows longer. My neighbor took pity on me yesterday and mowed my yard with his little JD mower :/
The 1864, as I determined in another thread, bent two valves and a pushrod. Yesterday I pulled the engine to start that process. In the process I remembered that there was a lot of play in the steering. While all was bare I moved the wheel a bit. There is some slack in several places, but the biggest was at the axle pivot point. Looking at the parts diagram, it appears there is no bushing, it's just the axle and the bolt. Is that correct? If so what usually wears - the axle bore, the pivot bolt, or both? Best way to fix this? |

On either side of the pivot bolt are axle stop bolts with a lock nut on them. Wind them out equal turns until they just rub the axle. Then lock the nuts.

Well that sounds easy enough!
I was not looking forward to pulling that axle. Thanks! |

That is one of the nice features of a Cyclops. I've had a bunch of them and never had to do any more than adjust those bolts to get axle play to a satisfactory level.

If you want the Cyclops service manual I have it in the files section of Cub Cadet Cyclops on face book. Also have the Kohler CH service manual.

Sam, i think I have all the manuals. I just looked in the parts manual to see if there was a bushing. It didn't occur to me there would be an adjustment like that.

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.
