You mean they only lasted 40 years?

Cheap American junk!

You have positive camber, which is correct, set the tow in 1/8" and it possibly
will be the same camber on both sides.

My front wheels have the same positive camber your Cub has.

Wow,

Why did IH design these things with so much camber? Has anyone straightened things out succesfully and is there any benifit to doing so.

The camber is so you can steer easily...remove it, and steering becomes difficult. Just leave it alone.

I've had more than one NF tractor with bent spindles from too many wheelies by the PO, and I can tell you that they are very hard to steer after that.

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.
