Thanks Paul and Jonathan
I didn't think about the other bearing.... Just checked and there's no play, so maybe I'll leave that one alone. Getting the bearing from the dealer wasn't hard....but it took 4 days and a 25 mile round trip. Yeah, if there are cheaper alternatives, I'm all ears! Another question.... On the end opposite the pulley, right above the small bearing, there's something that looks like a wick. It's in a hole that goes through the cap from inside to out. Any idea what that is?

An oil hole to oil the bearing.

Nice! That wick is about as dirty as can be.... Maybe I have something laying around to replace it.
Paul mentioned that the outer ring should fit snug and not move. If I understand that correctly, I think I have a problem.... I set the bearing in the recess and it's pretty darn loose [see photo below -- I pushed the bearing to one side so you can see how much space is on the other side]. The outer ring of the old bearing is the same size as the new one.... The small ring fits on the shaft very snug, so it'll spin with the shaft. Seems like with that much play in the end cap recess, everything that's not the inner ring would just be spinning however it wanted. Do I somehow need to make sure the outer ring is snug in the cap, or is this how it's supposed to fit?!?

Yeah. You definitely have a problem. It looks like the right size bearing, but it should not be loose in the case like that. Looks like the old bearing's outer race was spinning and wore out the case.
So..... couple things. First off. I wouldn't use that bearing even if it did fit. It's not right. You need a sealed bearing. That one is open and designed to run in oil/grease. It will just fill up with dirt and fail again. Second, you need to make sure the bearing is the correct size. (I am pretty sure it is.) I can't tell from the pic. If it is indeed the correct size, then you need to either find another S/G or a new/another end cap because that one is gone. Sorry for the bad news.

I agree with Jonathan. The only hope for that end cap is to possibly machine it round, and then sleeve it. Or find an alternate bearing with a larger OD.
Good Luck!

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.
