Thanks Sam. Maybe if the wheels are screwed up it will be a good excuse to do a 1 inch spindle up grade. The more I get into this Cub the more I want to fix it up. I guess that is how it all starts.

Would the front rims be marked with a IH part number? I have to see if I can find one? I don't want to buy bearings if they won't work.

Just measure the ID of the bore in the hub. The OD of the bearings is .375 or 1-3/8". If it's just a little to big you can shrink it back down to fit the bearing.

Ok, so it seems my trade for a 71 fell through, so I will keep working on the problems with this 105. I have been looking for bearings and it seemed there are two types, a sealed bearing good for 500 hours, or an open back designed for grease penetration. So which is the better design? I have seen a wild price variation too, from about $7 to $13 for one bearing. There is also a set of four on epay for 25 bucks shipped for Cub pullers, anyone have experience with these?

Bill, couldn't I just swap in an entire front axle with spindles and rims from a wide frame to get the 1 inch. I know you I need a later wide frame too. I am going to check the wheels and hopefully they are ok to just put in bearings for now.

Many people will tell you that you can't put a Wide Frame axle in a Narrow Frame tractor they will tell you that it makes the front end set too high and that it will make the front wheels set too wide.

BS! I did it to my 122 the wheels are exactly the same width from Wide to Narrow frame, and the height is only about 1/4" different between the two.

Truthfully though the fel on that 122 is pretty hard on the steering, the Wide Frame front axle, spindles and wheels are the only "Upgrade" that I have done to the steering. I did rebuild the column in it a few years ago, and I keep a spare rebuilt column on the shelf for it all the time, cause I know, at the most inconvienent time I'm gonna break the one that's in there.

BTW, I carry some pretty heavy loads with that thing, I move 55 gallon barrels full of motor oil with it all the time.

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.
