Murphy, Let us know how long that open bearing lasts. Please don't think this is a "dig" I am curious.
Dross-Good point. I don't consider your statement a dig.
The only way to know is give a try. It will be an easy change if it doesn't hold up. Not know how everyone's work looks...I'm only working 32 hours a week. I've been looking for ways to make and save a few $$$.

the bearing is available at any bearing supply, like Motion Industries. The thrust washers at any good hardware store. Don't use flat washers, get proper thrust washers, they are ground perfectly flat. Any parts in the box are available at any Cub Cadet dealer.

Curious to see how well your upgrade worked with the needle bearing.

It has been 7 years since I restored my 70. I haven't had any problems with that set up. Just finish spraying the yard.

Great. with the light load on the steering box, I couldn't see it being an issue.

I might do this next. Thanks for the pics and links to part numbers.

With the washers and the nut down tight, how much could really get through?

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.
