Default Cub 124 New Wheels
Hi guys;

I blew out a wheel bearing this weekend. As I looked at the original wheels they both had pry marks and the collar for the bearings were bent. Long story short, new front wheels and bearings. The wheels still seem to have some slop mayby <1/8 lateral slide on the spindle. Is this normal. The new spindle on the left is the same play as the OEM spindle on the right. The bearings seated flush on the collar and the spindle bolts with one flat washer are the same as the parts diagram.
I hate to spend all of this money on new stuff only to have it wear out?!

I appreciate any thoughts....And yes I will post a picture soon.

Thanks to all who respond.

Cheers,

Roy

You can get some shim washers to take up some of the slop if you like, but that is pretty normal. There is no preload on the bearings or anything.

As Matt says, 3/4" shim washers (I get them from Ace Hardware) on the INSIDE of the wheel.

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.
