Cub Cadet 129 steering upgrade
I figured I would post a fresh listing of the parts for this upgrade. I can't find where I originally found these numbers. This is for putting a thrust needle roller bearing on the steering pivot (at the box) to reduce friction. Some folks use a regular bearing, not sure on those numbers but it should be easy to find a 5/8" bearing that will work.
mcmaster carr numbers 5909K32 - cage assy for 5/8" shaft diameter, 1-1/8"OD thrust needle -roller bearing ($3.02) 5909K45 - .032" thick washer for 5/8" shaft diameter, 1-1/8"OD thrust needle -roller bearing (need 2 0f these - $1.07ea) 94945A230 - grade 8 steel nylon-insert 5/8"X18 thread ($8.09 pack of 5) 5 minute job if you have the tools out, belly pan off and don't spend 30 minutes cleaning/regreasing everything. I have not got to test this yet, as the 129 is in rehab for a few other jobs, but it can't be anything but better. This cub's steering was OK as it was so I did not get into the box rebuild. I did pull the foam gasket assy and clean that area as much as I could

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.
