Default Mystery "Thing" on 129 Steering Shaft

Giving my Cub a little winter love and pulled the steering column. Can anyone
identify the little gnarled piece of plastic in this pic? It seems to come out of a
hole in the shaft and is not at all loose enough to pull out.

I don't know what it is but it's not supposed to be there.

The previous owner(s) added numerous after-market "fixes". I just cannot figure out what they were trying to do here.

If you are talking about that little appendage coming off the wormshaft, I have no idea. Were this mine, I would take it off and file the area smooth on the shaft. It shouldn't take much, than replace the bearings, cam follower and seal. It should work just fine.

Yah, that was my plan from the start, I just wanted to make sure I had not missed something. I'll snip it off, smooth it down and resign myself to the mystery of it all.

Cubfixer - doesn't taste like a booger.

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.
