You're going to tap it for a thread in zerk? Like those better than press in, or was the hole too big? Just wondering.

I wouldn't use a press in zerk if I had to. JUNK.

You don't need a zerk on the cast piece. The shaft will just rotate in the frame. Area of least resistance guys.

I agree, but I've read on here where some people had them fall out. Why do you think cub would use press in? I want to say it was in a wheel...

Cub used them on all sorts of locations. They break, then you can't get them out, because when you try to drill them, they just spin. Tap and thread.

Why did they use them? Cheap. Easy.

Why bother with a grease fitting. It's just a 1/2" rod that holds the upper lift arm in place. The hole in the lift arm is bigger than that by at least 3/16". Too much off a gap to justify greasing. It'll never seize up. When I installed my 3 point lift, I put a light coat of oil on the 1/2" rod and slid it in. My lift arm also has the hole. If it needed a zerk, IH would have put one there. I think by greasing it, with amount of gap that is inside the lift arm hole for the 1/2" pin, you'll just be attracting dirt. Lightly coat the pin with oil or leave it dry. I oiled mine just to ease my mind, but it doesn't even need that.

As far as the hole in the lift arm, it could have been from casting and holding the piece while the other holes got drilled? I'm not sure, but either way, it doesn't need grease.....or a coat of oil like I did.
Just put it together and use it.

HoundDog, buddy you did it wrong. The steel rod should be a 5/8" rod and fit the cast piece tightly. You used the wrong size.

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.
