The parts look ok, but do wobble left and right. Is that normal?/

The trunnion plates do look a bit loose, but I think the springs are too loose or weak. Hard to tell in video. I also wonder if you have all the pieces for the trunnion spring... I see two springs and I cannot tell whether if you have both end caps. I think I see one, but can't tell on the other end of springs (towards the rear).

The spring have both caps, but are loose for and aft. About and 1/8-1/4 of slop. Do I need new springs?
How would I fix the left-right wobble?

My mistake. Not for and aft, starboard and port. Left/Right. I remembered wrong. Definitely a lot of left / right play when it's all added up.

Are the caps badly worn into the sides of the trunion slot?
If so, you need a new repair plate

Hydro Trunion Repair Slot
Repair your worn trunion slot without removing the arm from the tractor.

Use this piece to mark your old one, cut it off and weld this one in it's place.

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.
