rear axle problem?
i am changing the axle seals, and axle bushings on a cub original. the problem i have is that i have a little bit of play in the axle in and out. if you put a jack under it you can push and pull the axle about 1/16"(just guessing).is there a way to fix this problem, or is a little bit of play normal. i looked up the parts breakdown and there are diff. bearing retainer shims. is this what i need to take out the play, and if so, how do i measure which shim i need? they are expensive ($20 each) so i would like to only do this one time and do it right. thanks

Original axles are held in the axle tubes with snap rings, if the end play is excessive and you're concerned about it, get your best measurement and go to your local bearing supply store and get some 1" id thrush washers in the closest thickness to your play. Probably cost a couple bucks each. Your snap rings could also be worn a little thinner than they originally were, you may want to replace them.
Unless it's really bad I probably wouldn't worry about it.

its not bad, but like i said, if you jack up one side, you can move it in and out a little. the snap ring looked ok. the only reason i even pulled it apart is because there is a little weep hole on the bottom side of the left axle tube that was starting to drip oil. i figured that i only wanted to do this once. sorry, i went back and read your post and think i understand what your telling me to do. so put the thrust washer right below the snap ring, and that should take out the play?

Yes, LMAO I'm sorry, I didn't tell you what to do with the washer once you got it. I'm pretty stupid sometimes!

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.
