Hi, just joined after doing a search on how to correct the play in the front axle. Some great information. This is the third Cub I've owned, first IH cub. Just took ownership of it Friday. Tractor is a 1250. I did the 3/4" grade 8 5" bolt trick, worked well. Also tightened up the gearbox.
Funny story how I got it. My Dad's Simplicity was giving him too much grief, and his diesel Kubota had a few issues, so he asked me to look for an old Cub. I found one down the road and went with him after work to look at it. I loved it, he bought it. He ran it a week and during that time got his Kubota fixed and asked if I wanted to buy the cub, so now I have it. Got it to my house and it mowed the grass beautifully, has a lot of play in the wheel, could hardly hold a straight line. So I took the motor out to access the front axle which had a lot of excessive play. Also had to get new front tires yesterday morning as the old ones were shot from being out of alignment. Everything is buttoned up on it, have to put the sides back on and the deck, but for some reason cant get the thing started? I think its a ground somewhere, going to fool with it today, looking forward to seeing how it handles now. I do believe I need bearings in the wheels, and the drivers side (knuckle?) the shaft where the wheel goes on, the weld is popping loose causing play in that wheel, have to address those issues.

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.
