Default Cub cadet original

I've got the Cub Cadet Original going now. I have to address some things before I can mow with it. I have a frame crack right where the front of the mower attaches to the back (Tranny), on the bottom by the bolt holes. I am thinking about splitting it and welding it back up and then ill be up and ready. The front tires have a lot of play in them. If you were to go on the side, and push it both tires go back and force, sort of like a bearing would be out on the back tires. I'm guessing a bushing goes there but what type of bushing?

The slop in the front is usually, (a) worn steering knuckle shaft, (b) worn wheel bushings, (c) or both.

The steering knuckle(s) can be repaired or replaced. Just have to look at Salvage Yards like, from the Sponsors above, for replacements. The bushings are still available as new, they can be had also (ccspecialties).

It would fit on the 7/8" Knuckle Shaft.

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.
