Front Axle Play On 1000
I'm getting ready to start my Frankentractor rebuild of my old 1978 1000'. I have the solid motor mounts and the old-style clutch driver disc, and a 12hp engine from a 1200 of the same year.
I was looking at the 1000 chassis this morning, and I noticed that the front axle has about 1/8" or so of fore-and-aft play at the front axle pivot. Otherwise the rest of the steering is tight. I've never had the front axle out of one of these, and I do have a brand-new pivot pin to put in if I need it. If I pull the axle, what am I likely to find? Is it common for the hole for the pivot pin to be hogged out? But that doesn't account for the fore-and-aft play, though. How much fore-and-aft play is "normal"? Can this be tightened up with a washer between the axle and the channel that straddles it? What about running a large bolt through with a couple of flat washers on each side, and try to "squeeze" the channel tighter? Or, on the other hand, since the maximum top speed is only about 8 mph, should I just stop obsessing over it?

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.
