1861 axle on 149 to low
did this modification many years ago along with the three turn column. It has always worked awesome. The problem I've had since is the axle actually lowered the front end making the deck to low even with taking all of the adjustment out of the deck. I've just put up with it (almost scalping the yard). I'm retired now and its time to fix it..Anyone else have this problem? At the time this was the suggested axle.

If you have added a "super steer" front axle, you need to use the taller spindles
in that axle, not the short ones, the taller ones raise the front just about 2" I did that to both my 782 and the 1650 for clearance when I added power steering. It makes them steer with 1 finger,and the taller spindles restore ride height/deck clearnce

According to CC parts site,
The long spindles (steering knuckles) are possibly from 1861 S/N 821,060 - 836,000: PN 603-0007 (left) and 603-0006 (right) As a reference point, this is PN for the short one 703-1749 (right). There are a few of them on e bay. This is a picture from my super-steer converted 149: Quote:

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.
