Default 125 , Things Im Working On (Fixing)

I think I found some more of the PO's cob work. I have tons of slop at the pivot point. I was going to shim it but found this piece (looks like) drive shaft in it with a 1/4" bolt holding it in. Id think it should be a bolt. right?

the spindels have play in them too. Im going to get some 1" shim bushings and drill the holes in the axle to fit the shim and press them in. that should take out the play in them.

I'll do the same to the rear hitch , the holes in the frame that the rod rubs on. the frame holes are egg shaped. might just weld them and re-drill the holes and make a new rod.

I installed the spring assist , thats a tight fit.
new pump filter , as it looked like it was put on with channel lock pliers.
new fan and should installed

Looks like progress, Doug! Keep it going, I need the inspiration to get my 125 split and clean up my hydro. I want to see how your spindle slop repairs go, too. Always wondered how to shim or fix the slop in the stems...

The filter was so tight on my 125 that I bent my filter wrench. I had to borrow the spring one from a friend to get it off. I thought for sure my long handle rachet was going to bust.

Good work already! It's always "interesting" to observe shadetree work... less interesting to fix it 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.
