You may also have fore and aft play in the axle "C" channel as well as worn axle pin and bushing to.
Drop the axle and give the channel the old "squeezeroo" to snug it back up and check the pin and bushing fit. Don't forget there should be a grease fitting on the right underside of the axle proper to lube the pin that might need some attn. as well.

This is good advice and this work should go quickly (if you've got a good punch and a BFH).

Hi all! Well, I finally got hold of a proper nut and installed it on the upper end of the drag link. I love my 102! It's a bit tough getting on and off of it though, but I guess it counts as yoga. The only other issue I had was the steering. Left turns were super sharp, but right turns not so much. I shortened the drag link about an inch, and now it steers a bit shorter to the right, but still shortest turning left. It is good enough that I can live with it, my thinking being that since the mower discharges to the right, a shorter left turn going around things like trees and such is desireable. Thanks to all who offered your help!
My blade is all painted and ready for snow.
Next up is installing the three point and it's helper spring!

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.
