Default what is this dohickey for?

Cub GT2000
I'm trying to get the underneath of my tractor back in good shape as many of the rods and levers are worn or bent and the deck doesnt want to run level.

This rod is at the rear of the deck mechanism.
According to the parts diagrams it appears to be an "Anti-Sway Deck Rod"
Does it matter that there is no washer or that the hole is buggered up?
Does the flange on the shaft need to be tight against the hole with the nut tight against the bracket?
Having not seen another new one, I don't know how much "play" is designed in.

Hazard a guess... Missing a rubber or plastic bushing? Consult the parts diagrams.

the parts diagram doesn't seem to show anything but a nut ... that hole was not machined like that from the factory so no bush will fit

Does the parts diagram show one nut or two because at a guess I would say there needs to be a nut either side of the bracket shown
As it now appears it does nothing but slide back and forth through the hole

That’s the deck anti-sway rod I believe. Looks like it was loose for several years and wallered out that hole. You could weld it up and redrill. I bet the threads on the rod are shot from sliding back and forth.

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.
