Trunion spring: Mickey Mouse
A great forum, and already I have learned a lot from the group here. Thank you.
I picked up a 1450 recently. It isnt 'perfect' by any means, but Im hoping to make it use able. In fact I have already graded out a section of my yard that needed seeded and the rain is helping the grass along just fine. BUT - the hydro drive on it is pretty herky jerky (not sure if thats the right term, but its an accurate description). This made it very difficult to do anything productive. So thanks to this site a little trouble shooting points to the trunion and this is what it looks like:  A couple items - besides the worn notch at each end, the larger spring is shorter than the cavity by about 1/8". I dont have a welder, but was anxious to see what the effect would be if I fixed this. So I made this mickey mouse shim by simply wrapping a piece of tin around it:  I have to say, it made a remarkable improvement to the herky jerky. So am going to have to do this properly, after which I would say the tractor is going to be 'quite usable'. Getting the lower speeds under control made a huge difference to operation. One question: This looks (to me) like it had been welded once before. And the larger dia spring is short with about 1/8" slop - is this normal? Thanks for all those that post here.

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.
