Looks good, glad you decided to remove the extra "stuff", and do this right.

I'm kinda late to the party here...

Did you tighten up the front axle "C" channel before painting?
Also, I'd figure on new tie rod ends all the way around and a new axle pivot pin and maybe even bushings if they really need it.
Go through the steering box and tighten it up, replace parts where needed, like the cam follower, and add the "super steer" bearing kit as well.
And adjust the toe in as directed in the FSM so it steers nice and straight with minimal steering effort. You will be glad you did first time you drive it out the door.
Nothing better than to mount a "restored " Cub and have it steer as it did when new, nice 'n' tight like a German virgin.

So Far so good!

What do you mean by tighten up the front axle C channel?
I didn't plan on replacing the tie rod ends, pivot pin, or bushings, but I will now.
I was already planning on going through the steering box.

It's the channel that the front axle pivots in.
Grab the axle by the end, try to twist it like it was a bolt.
Then try to move it frontwards and backwards horizontally.
If it moves fore and aft with a lot of slop, it needs some attention.
Newer GTs have an adjustment to control this issue.

Thanks! I will check that.

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.
