The shaft it's on in the pic, is some cheapo stuff from the farm supply store...probably 1018 or similar...I couldn't see going to all the trouble to source an OEM shaft when it's so insultingly easy to make one...

It's 1AM here. And yes, I'm at the shop. Obviously, I'm in the office on the PC, and not turning wrenches, LOL! I'm usually here till between 1 and 3 am. On rare occasion, all night. I've spent days on end here in years past when we were bigger and had demands. Getting too old for that crap anymore. Most I've ever worked straight is around 36 hours (more than once). I used to work 24 straight all the time. I don't need much sleep.

 Probably NBD to just use what's there. Easy for me to say, I probably have a piece laying around!

Even the big tractors usually just use a brass sleeve/bushing on the 3pt rockshaft.  Are you saying Harley uses needle bearings on the cam? (That doesn't sound right) That's one motor I've never worked on. Lots of Honda's. No Harleys. You do know you can buy caged needle bearings by size anyway right? You'd just bore the casting and drive them in.

OT: Yep, they do. Needle bearings on the inboard end almost always, and depending on model year, either a bronze bushing, or a ball bearing on the outboard end. Until '09 anyway. There's been a lot of controversy over the years about whether the 'new' INA cam bearings with half as many rollers are better or worse than the old Torrington ones. The cranks are all roller bearing after about 1955; ball before that.

Why bother with a grease fitting. It's just a 1/2" rod that holds the upper lift arm in place. The hole in the lift arm is bigger than that by at least 3/16". Too much off a gap to justify greasing. It'll never seize up. When I installed my 3 point lift, I put a light coat of oil on the 1/2" rod and slid it in. My lift arm also has the hole. If it needed a zerk, IH would have put one there. I think by greasing it, with amount of gap that is inside the lift arm hole for the 1/2" pin, you'll just be attracting dirt. Lightly coat the pin with oil or leave it dry. I oiled mine just to ease my mind, but it doesn't even need that.

As far as the hole in the lift arm, it could have been from casting and holding the piece while the other holes got drilled? I'm not sure, but either way, it doesn't need grease.....or a coat of oil like I did.
Just put it together and use it.

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.
