So what have other people done to fix those brackets after they wear out? Would anyone have a detailed pic or drawing of the brackets so i could just make new ones?

on my 127 with 42" deck the pulley on the wide bracket is perpendicular and square with the pivot shaft.
The sprung pulley is tilted in maybe 4 or 5 degrees at the bottom and also twisted to the outside by 4 to 5 degrees.

The manual also shows the rear rockshaft brackets in the forward holes whereas on mine it is working with them in the rearward holes.

Also, in your last pic above, it looks like the top of the rockshaft "U" bar (whatever it is called) has been worn like maybe the top outer edge was riding on the bottom of the rockshaft for some time ?

Someone has modified that setup, I've never seen one with grease fittings or locking collars.

Yep that was me, I was hellbent on that setup not wearing out again so I went overboard with the grease fittings. I was hoping I could use the same mule drive for a tiller.

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.
