Those spindles might be annealed by welding and loose strength.
(A bent spindle is worse than a sloppy spindle)

Could you put a sleeve over it and find a larger bearing??

They had stuff welded to them at the factory, so I wouldn't worry about that.

what about turning down the spindles to 3/4"? That's the size of the other CCs and, bearings are readily available. I'm pretty sure that you could get the size to match your wheel, right?

I'm contemplating this right now as my Original needs some attention here.

Just started a new thread cuz I didn't see this one originally (no pun intended).

I went ahead and taking Happyhab's idea, I simply drilled out the original bushings to a 1" ID and used bronze bushings from ACE hardware. They cost about 8 bucks a side and they're tight for now. We'll see how they hold up. Drilling out the original bushings trued them back up again and, gave me a spacer to go between the new bushings and the wheel. I believe they are more of a steel consistency than the bronze bushings as when I drilled them out, the material looked much different. I think the bronze ones that I installed are softer and since they're easier to find, I can get them at the local hardware store. Hope this helps.

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.
