I have placed a wheel bearing in the top of both 1450 steering columns. Neither is tight like the plastic bearing was. Is there a way to get these bearings tight other than expoxy them in? Center punch around the outside of the column?
Thanks

What I did was took some very dense foam and cut a washer to fit between then bearing and the bottom of the steering wheel. This helps to hold the bearing in place and gives a nice, finished look. A little bit of black silicone around the outside of the bearing and inside the steering column tube doesn't hurt, either.
Good luck. |

I'm also have problems with the front wheels. The bearings are snug, but not tight. I purchased 6 RBC bearings, RF122214PP, flanged bearings. The wheels are in rough shape. the old bearings were actually cracked in several places.

Problem with front wheels is the wheels. I cleaned them with brake cleaner and they look like they were used with no bearings in them. Front spindles are grooved also.

@ CDLong, On my 104 I wrapped several strips of aluminum duct tape around the bearing till it was built up enough. Works great,. Chris

I made 4 small slots in the top of the tube with a hack saw, put in the bearing and then used an hd hose clamp to lock it in 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.
