Easiest for me is a set of wheels with no tires on them.

X2, you have to put wheels on to accurately measure toe in. If you measured the toe in from the spindle shafts, whenyou put the tires on, you're going to have wayyy too much toe in.

Thanks for the advice. I'll check and see how much toe in I have when I get the tires back on. I can see what your saying about it becoming too much once the tires are on.

Originally, I tried to align it with the tires on, but they were wobbling too much due to worn out bearings, so I took the tires off. But once I get new bearings, and get the tires back on, I'll check it again and fine tune it if needed.

What else I found will make a big difference is that one of the axle jam bolts were loose and moved a lot, so the axle was not only moving up and down, but side to side. I looked all over the manual and couldn't find anything referencing how to adjust the jam bolts, and didn't even know they existed until I found another post that mentioned them. I tightened them up so the axle can still move up and down, but not side to side, which common sense would make me think is correct.

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.
