Default Anyone know where to get a bushing for my throttle arm?

After doing some work this weekend on my 1450, I found I have one thing left to fix (among others that will crop up I'm sure ). The throttle arm on my carb is loose allowing a poor seal. After doing some online searching, I found it to be a bad bushing. My problem is, I haven't been able to find a place to buy a new bushing. Many people seem to be aware of the problem but don't post where to get the part, just "replace with a new bushing". I did a little "test" someone suggested and sprayed some carb cleaner at the base of the shaft while it was running at idle and sure enough, the engine bogged down. Another symptom is my idle (fuel) adjust screw basically does nothing. I've had this carb apart when I got it and cleaned it up good before winter (I tried to start it and let it run for a bit every couple weeks during the winter so it didn't just sit), blew air through the passages, and even did that again yesterday to be sure; still no good. It runs fine at WOT, runs good with a load on the engine, idle is just a bit rough and like I said, I'm not able to adjust idle fuel really.

So my question is are you guys familiar with this problem? Where would I get a new bushing for this carb?

Hmm I may give that a shot. I know I've gotten lots of randomness for Cub's at our local store, they're getting quite used to seeing me in there

I just went and pulled out my parts and got that number and was gonna post it. You beat me!

Ryan, your also going to need screws for the throttle shaft. They are #3-48 X 1/4" long. I recommend brass. I use loctite, and I pinch the threads. I ordered a package of 10 of the bushings. Like $8. I also ordered a box of 100 brass screws for the throttle from McMaster Carr. (My local stores don't carry #3 screws) Paid like $12 or $15 for a box delivered. If you can't find them, give me a shout and I'll send you a couple.

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.
