If you are talking about the screws that hold the butterfly to the throttle shaft, they are #4-32's. You will have to order them, most all part/hardware stores don't carry any that small. I suggest getting brass, as they are easy to crimp (to keep them from falling out) and also if you break one, they're easier to drill. I get mine in 100ct boxes from McMaster Carr. They can have them on my door in 1 business day.

Wait!!! I am so sorry! They are #3-48's. My bad, I wasn't thinking. I also suggest ordering a tap. They are like $8 and come in really handy if you break one of the screws.

Note, to avoid breaking the old ones off when removing them, file them smooth and flush w/the shaft as they are peened to keep them from backing out.

I always squeeze the end of the new ones after they have been installed w/a pair of needle nose vise grips to bung up the threads.

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.
