Steering alignment on a 149
Is there anything special to be done here? Just eyeball it in?
I MIGHT get around to swapping my front axle out this weekend for one that will accept grease (long story and the replacement was free) and replace all my highly suspect rod ends.

the rod from the steering coloum to the left spindle should be 16 3/8 inch from the ends of the ball joints, from there just use a tape measure and measure the front and back of the tire and adjust the rod till you get the same measurement

make sure when your measuring the front and rear of the tire to have the tape measure the same height off the ground for both. since the tires tip out at the top it will throw off your measurement if you dont

I believe the toe in should be 1/32 to 1/8 inch if I remember correctly from the service manual.
Not much, but some

Hummm.. I'll tinker with it within that range then. Right now the front wheels come back to center REALLY fast.. It may have too much in it already. I'll take a baseline and see where it stands out of curiosity.

 On my CC149. I used. steel ball joint rod ends, with a self lubricating insert, on the steering arm and the drag link. They are also available with a grease zerk. I also intalled a super steer kit and with tri-ribs on the front it is like I have power steering. I bought the rod ends from McMaster-Carr. As for the tow, I use 1/8".

An easy way to get a good measurement is to bungee a 2x4 to the front tires and measure across that. That's how I set up my race car back in the day. Probably not as critical on a 9 mph tractor though.

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.
