In re-conditioning the axle, I pulled the pressed in zerk fitting and replaced with a new one. This was drilled with a 1/4 in bit and tapped. The new zerk was screwed in and seated.

I installed the steering column and the clutch. The clutch is not going to be taken apart for it had been done previously a few years back and worked perfectly. Didn't see a reason for doing it again. The mounting bolts I've replaced with stainless ones. I did this for a reason but the biggest is for a grounding spot. The original ground was on the instrument / steering column bottom bolt. Since I don't plan to use original ground spot, I need a bolt isn't going to rust up on me creating electrical problems.

Great job Gregory. Can you provide us with the member who has the tapered spindle pin deal? (Jeff? Mark?) btw Jeff makes the steer axle pivot pin and bushings for our cubs too. Very cool redesign to tighten it up as a combination of three or different areas gives a very loose steering.

Yes Alvy, the gentlemen's name is Pete at http://www.spaco.org/loose.htm
It's been a few years since I ordered this, but I was impressed with how it worked. Once I finish with the steering assembly we'll see how tight everything becomes.
Upon drilling out the roll pin hole in the spindle which was shaped like an olive, as listed in Pete's documentation.

Need the collective wisdom from the group on trans-fluid. I drained the fluid and cleaned out the rear end of any trash and sludge. When filling with oil, do I used hi-tran or 80/90 gear oil ?.
I've painted the remaining engine parts and the engine will go in this weekend along with other frame parts. Trying to get it going and asking for advice.

Some will say 80/90 gear oil.....Repair manual says Hy-Tran or 30 weight motor oil. I use Hy-Tran from Case-IH dealer.

I don't remember ever seeing 80/90 gear oil in any Cub Cadet literature.

SAE 30 or Hy-tran.

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.
