Brand new Craftsman T4400 poor assembly, questions
I made a post a while back about which LT to buy to replace my Cub Cadet SLTX -1050 and this forum has been extremely helpful.
I ended up getting the Craftsman T4400 (please don’t shun me on a Cub Cadet forum  )They delivered it assembled even though I told them I wanted to assemble it. And of course, problems found. Correct me if im wrong but isnt the gas tank supposed to haev some sort of bracket to keep it from moving? I can wiggle it up and down, left and right with one finger. This cant be how it should be. It’s going to bounce around and crack. Here's a video if you can see it here: https://imgur.com/a/8bqjpFT Bracket.jpg The picture with the blue circle shows what looks like a gray bracket that SHOULD have some sort of bracket attached through those screw holes to hold the gas tank securely. And then the other thing is, there is ZERO grease on the steering wheel gear (see picture). This can’t be right. No grease.jpg So my concern is, if the guys at the store did a poo-poo job of these things (even the wires to the battery terminal were loose), what else did they not do? Forgot to put grease in the zerk fittings? What if there are things I can’t check anymore because it’s now assembled and I cant reach areas that would have been accessible prior to assembly? Do I return it an get another one? My fear is if they failed to do these basic things, is this tractor now a danger to use for the more important, moving parts? I tried to question the delivery guys but they claimed they spoke no english and drove off. Thanks for your help

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.
