Default 2082 front axle
I'm looking to take apart my front axle soon, mowed the lawn for the first time and realized there is quite a lot of play. I'm hoping the mounting bolt is worn, but in any chance the axle is worn, would you try and make a bushing and if so brass or other material, or would you try and find a better axle? All replies are greatly appreciated!

Did you adjust the 2 snubber bolts that are in front of the axel? They take most of the play out of the axle itself. This pic is of a frame with the axle removed. All you need to do is to loosen the jam nut then turn the bolt in so that it barley touches the axle and retighten the jam nut.

I rebuilt the entire front axle on my super. Very worthwhile. There are bronse bushings for the knockles to turn on. These wear. My OEM replacements were kinda loose so I used the old ones for spacers. I slotted them for the zerks.








Other than that I also replaced the ball joint style tie rod ends with Hiem ends. New wheel bearings and I made a shim to go around the pivot bolt. It feels like a different tractor.

Anyway there is more to it than just the pivot bolt. Hope the pics help.

some times you just need to tighten the bolt up ,I tighten it till the axle is snug and then loosen just a little ,[do this with the ft.end off the ground so you can tell when it gets tight

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.
