Unhappy Wheel Bearings
Installed a set of front wheel bearings in my 102. I'm not very happy with the set I got but they are the size and measurments stated. Old bearings are 1.380 new ones 1.375 so they are loose as a goose. Had to use them as old set very bad.Anyone have any thoughts on this set up. Now that I have the old bearings will go to Bearing Supply and see if I can get a set that fit tighter in the hub I know its low speed and will work but like things to fit the way they did when they left the factory. The new set are not as wide either and are very sloppy.

The Factory Front Wheel Bearings used from the 70/100 Series through the Quietline series with 3/4" spindles was IH-384881-93. There were various vendor that made them to include Heim. The Heim number on my 1450 is "RF122214-FP". This equates to 1.375" OD of the bearing.


Perhaps the hub on the wheel is slightly worn.

Angry Bearings
I got the bearings From a puller we all know not fair to mention his name as the bearings are just what he described. My old bearings fit tight They are 5 thousants bigger then new bearings. Hub is not worn. The new bearings are sealed on both sides they just fit so loose you can install by hand. Had to drive old bearings out with a punch.

JMD , if you mean the bearings fit in the wheel loosely , take a socket or a piece of pipe that is kinda bigger than the flange and hammer onto the flange to make it small enough so the bearing will fit the flange.

Not sure why the new bearing is a fraction smaller ??? Usually , PO's would not maintain the bearings and they would get loose and make the flanges bigger.

Could be that a PO got bearings that were 5 thousants bigger than the original bearings and pressed or pounded them in anyway.

The bearings on my 1450 are OEM and I mic'd them out. They are 1.375 and they fit snug to the hub. Don't know what else to tell ya.

Yosemite Sam you may be right but there is no indication of this 5 thou is a lot bigger, even heating the Hub and freezing the bearing I think it would split the hub. R Bedell are the part numbers the same for a 102 as a 1450? Thanks guys I will keep on looking maybe we can come up with a answer. John

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.
