OK - Finally got a chance to loosen the engine and spin the engine over. After no real change I pulled the engine and looked at the bushing. There was a burr on the surface of the bushing. I took a small piece of 600 grit sand paper to it, just enough to clean up the burr. Put everything back together and I am back in business. Thanks everyone for the suggestions, they got me to the issue after a hitting a brick wall. I really did not think about the alignment or bushing since it was brand new and I had never had an alignment problem in all my other clutch rebuilds. Only Cub Cadets to the rescue again.
