1250 Axle Play
Working on tightening the steering up on my 1250, the front axle had quite a bit of slop back and forth. I have squeezed the channel together and reduced the amount of slop but the axle still has a slight amount of movement. The axle is slightly dragging on the channel when I slide it in. If I tighten the channel any more the axle will likely not fit. I was assuming it would tighten up solid with no slop at all. Pin doesn't look worn, I have a new pin that I put in and it has the same amount of wiggle. Pivot hole in the axle looks good.

I just added a oil bearing bronze bushing to take up the front to back play on mine
Ace hardware had a drawer of them with the right size

The pin and bushings show very little to no wear. I have a set of new bushings and pin. The play is the same with the new pin. The pin was stuck in the bushings when I removed it, took a few good taps with a 2lb sledge to get it broke free. I saw a write up where someone had replaced the pin with a 3/4" fine thread grade 8 bolt. I'm considering doing that and tightening the bolt to pinch the axle until the wiggle is gone. Axle hole might have a little wear.
Where did you put the bronze bushing? In the axle itself?

It will work if you can find a guy to machine the bolt head down. BTDT

The writeup I was looking at says to grind the bolt head down to 3/16" thick and use a 1/2 height locking nut for the nut. I'm assuming the shorter nut is used so it will clear the QA pin.

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.
