All the comments on here are good.

Steve, if it's worn like you say it is, I'd rebuild it. Or replace it. Whatever works best for you. I do both. Just depends on how bad it is. I'm not opposed to new parts, or fixing old. That they end up nice and tight is the important part. Ryan's idea with the shim works...... temporarily. No matter how you fix it, remember this. It's a 40 year old machine with more than likely original parts. If you use original, or rebuild to those original specs, it should by all rights last another 40. Will you care by then?

I've found that new springs help a bunch, too, to improve speed control.

I am all for rebuilding it most of the parts are available with the exception of a spacer .406x.68x.83 part no. IH-279783-R1 says it needs 2 of them...it isn't on the diagram where do they go and are they steel spacers or what???

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.
