Are the bolts tight that hold the bearing 1/2's together?
Were they tight when you took everything apart?
Does the whole bearing ass'y move around any when this play is happening?

.The bearings are held to the case halves with carriage bolts, the heads of which are inside the case. If the bolts come loose and the bolts start to wobble around inside the case they will hog out the holes in the case itself and everything starts going downhill from there.

You probably should have split the case at least for an inside inspection if nothing else.

Looks great.

I'm restoring a #1 tiller, and I'm currently struggling to remove the tine tubes from the output shafts. I got the extensions off (with some difficulty), but so far nothing has budged the main tubes.

Any tips and/or tricks for removing them?

I vastly underestimated the difficulty of removing the tine tubes. The welded-bolt puller method got one of them off, and moved the other about 1/4", then it would not budge. I ended up putting it in a big hydraulic press, and even then it took a lot of effort, but it finally came off.

A few more questions:

Are the chain drive housing gaskets available somewhere? If I have to make them, can someone recommend gasket material?

What's the right method and lubricant to use to re-lube it during re-assembly?

On some of the bearings, one one side the center hole is off-center, almost like it's worn on one side(?) . (I didn't notice this until it was all disassembled and haven't studied it closely yet.) Does this indicate the bearings need to be replaced, or ? Does that mean the bearing wasn't turning, or how does that even happen?

Some bearings are made this way purposely in order to work with a locking collar to hold it in place. This is how the PTO bearing is held to the crankshaft of the tractor's engine

Not sure if anything like that is in the tillers though, I've never owned one

That's probably it. I didn't see any wear on the shaft and the bearings seem to be working just fine.

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.
