Larger coil pin in steering arm - narrrow frame
On my 125, I'm thinking of drilling and insert a larger 3/8" diameter coil pin in the upper steering arm and spindle to get rid of the slop there. The larger pin will replace the original 5/16" diameter pin. I had inserted a new 5/16 " coil pin but it did not help as much as I hoped. Good idea? Or will I weaken the spindle too much? Everything else in the steering system is in good shape.

This is how I fixed a couple of mine. They worked out well, and I have had no problems.
In this case, someone had welded the arm to the spindle by drilling out the top of the arm and weldingthrough the hole, so the top of this spindle was really booger'd up. Pictures follow in this order: #1. These are 3/8" set screws. Don't remember the length. You can get them in square or allen head. #2 and #3. Drill and tap the arm for the allen screws. #4. Counter sink the pin hole in the spindle, on both sides, at a size and depth just enough for the tips of the set screws to get a good bite. #5. Install the spindle and arm. Tighten down the set screws and lock in place with jam nuts. #6. Finished. Ihavn't had any come loose. I theorize that if they do I can just re-tighten the set screws. Just something that has worked for me.

I fixed mine with a tapered pin, #7 if I recall correctly. I ran a tapered reamer through the hole, tapped the pin in, and cut off the excess length of the pin.

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.
