Has anyone here replaced the steel bushings that are welded to the frame and carry the front axel pin?
This seems to be one of those things that gets worn out, and since I am completely disassembled I feel it should be dealt with. On my 149 thats apart, the hole is fairly sloppy, and the roll pin hole is sloppy on one side. On my 125, even with a new axel pin, It's managed to work a new roll pin out of its perch, and had the axel pin slip out causing the steering to lock up. As a temporary fix I stuffed into the roll pin hole a tapered dowel pin like in the image attached. I don't want to deal with this problem on the 149 that I'm restoring, and I don't believe a tapered pin is a good long term solution in this application. In looking at those steel bushings attached to the frame they appear to be brazed on. I know removal will be difficult, and as much so keeping a clean hole for reattachment. Plus the bushing looks steeped into the hole, and it wouldn't be practical to braze that back together. The bushings would need to be welded. So does anyone know of a good fix for this without having to fabricate my own bushings? Mike |

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.
