No, the sleeve should fit tight, and the bolt turn in the sleeve. Otherwise, your cast axle would wear out.... then, what would be the point of the sleeve?

the sleeves are both longer than the axle spindle mounts. the spindle measures at 4.000 and the sleeves are 4.015 and 4.020. i cleanded the crudd out of the axle where the stuck sleeve was and that sleeve is a slip fit too. according to my manual it shows the spindle bolt to be torqued to 80 ft lbs. if the sleeve was a press fit and the bolt torqued to 80 ft lbs it would lock up the spindle on the axle. i would think the sleeves are longer than the axle so the spindle can be locked onto the sleeve and the whole assembley rotate inside the axle tube. the grease zerks should keep the axle from wearing out with proper lube. there are two notchs cast into the bottom of the axle that looks like greese should flow from through the axle and lubricate the bottom of the spindle where the weight is bearing dowm. these are only assumptions. dont know why one sleeve would have a small hole in it and one not. the PO did have some threaded zerks in it. i think the original ones were press fit. it doesnt look like they are a full 1/4-28 like i have seen on others. they only would go in like 1-2 threads. i need to clean them up and re-tap em. i dont know much though cause this is the only IH CC i have ever seen. people in the neighborhood are always asking me about it. there hard to find in my part of the woods.

Well, if that is what the manual says, then I stand corrected. That I am aware of, IH didn't keep that particular design long. I didn't see the sleeve listed in any other models. Sounds like you're on the right track!

well i figured i would work on the steering column since i have all the parts for it. my cam follower stud was in pretty bad shape. i think i found an unworn part on it and measured it at 15 degrees, so i turned the stud down to that. i still need to take some more off of the face cause it hits the bottom of the worm gear, and the sides do not make contact. what is the factory angle of the stud. when i was running the stud down the worm gear by hand the angle of the gear did not seem to always match the stud. here is what i turned down. prolly still need about .075 off the face. im also putting in the wheel bearing up top to help with steering. it is quite loose. the bearing OD is 1.375 and the ID of the column is 1.420 average. it will be quite a thin wall of aluminum. the column is prepped and masked off for in the morning when i have the garage empty.

well i have got a little progress done. i got my harbor freight blaster up and running. the light lasted all of about 3 hours and it is inop now. other than that it works pretty good. im using glass beads but i think i need to switch to something more aggressive. i got the cradle and the column painted up. the motor has been bored. the valve guides mic good so it back off to the machine shop to get the valve seats redone. i need to get it back together so i can till up the yard to prepare for sod. the wife told me today its not a show pony and i need to get it back to working.

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.
