Home Depot usually has SS shim washers for sale in those spinning racks of little drawers. I keep the common sizes on hand in my garage and did use some on the spindles of a 149.

Since you are using all OEM parts, you shouldn't be having any binding issues as long as you are using what was specified originally. The two washers #7 on the diagram are as follows:
Cub Cadet 736-0179 Washer, Flat, .531 X 1.25 X. 100 Thk Then #8 goes over them: Cub Cadet 736-3095 Washer, Flat, .535 X 1.92 X .060 Thk Then the 3/8-16 bolt. Then the decorative cap.

I got lucky this time and found the perfect shim washer in my collection of washers!
1"OD, .5" ID, .0625" thick Installed the washer over the end of the spindle, tightened the bolt down and no preload on the bearing at all. VERY little play in and out so it seems that was the perfect spacer. I was scratching my head how I could get so lucky and how the washer fit perfect. Like it was made for this application. I'd like to know where that spacer came from and makes me wonder if I came off of the tractor many years ago? I usually keep any parts that belong to equipment bagged and tagged so I guess I'll never know. What this tells me is the distance between the two bearing inner races is 1/16" too large. Could I press each bearing in another 1/32" I hate to take a chance and ruin a $30 bearing for the price of a free washer. Good to know! I'll check them out next time I visit HD. |

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.
