Now here is an idea from McMaster car. Have any of you used this? What do you think? A shoulder bolt!

Interesting idea. I don't believe you'd be able to thread deeper if needed, I believe they are quite hard. I also am a little unsure how well one would take a shock load. It might fracture. They are very precision. If you need to thin the head, the hex socket might be a bit shallow. But I guess if you have problems with it, you can simply replace it.
Other than those concerns, it seems like a cool idea to me. However, for my tractor, i think I'd still prefer a grade 5 or 8 hex cap screw. Good luck! Andy |

While you are in there, check the bushings for wear or damage.
It does happen!! Don't forget the grease valley in the bolt if you go that route. |

Someone needs to make a bolt like this and sell it. Probably a lot of takers here

Probably cost more to machine the grease valley in a hard bolt than anyone would pay for it.
Damn near $10 just to ship one of them. |

I would pay the price for a good bolt made the right way that could squeeze the axle and have the grease valley made into it. Nobody makes one yet. It would sure solve the problem for many Cub lovers

I think the OEM pin will provide the best results, proper fit in the bore and the correct hardness for the application.

Simple.
Use along enough bolt (with the axle removed of course) to squeeze the channel back to spec's, remove it, and replace with the correct length pin or bolt. May take several snug ups to et it back to spec as it will spring back out some when backing off the nut. That's what I do w/all my cubs when they are on my table. Nothing like a nice, tight front end and steering assembly. Makes these little machines a joy to drive! |

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.
