Thanks for the feedback and comments, guys.....and girls if there are any on here.
The caster is off due to a cracked hub, another reason the tractor was retired. I've toyed with the idea of replacing the hub but still open on that decision. I'll probably replace both of the wheels. I believe those tires were original when I bought the tractor and I've not put new tires on it. They all are badly cracked outside and run tubes now. The tractor has never been left out, exposed to the elements. Yes, the seat appears to be IH Cub original as far as I know. That cover is at least 42 years old, on the tractor when I bought it and showed signs of being used at that time. It is removable. All this is why I thought perhaps it was a Cub accessory. Probably not. The cover is beyond salvage now, anyway, extremely brittle. The deck is quite solid. I've had to stop a couple cracks over the years but it is still in amazing condition, main spindle excluded. Main spindle on my "to do" list. Question: Anyone have any experience tightening up the spindles, kingpins? These are worn. I've not determined if the wear is in the axle or the vertical spindle section, itself. Front end slop is the biggest issue with the tractor. A bit more information on the Cub. The engine was rebuilt several years and several hundred hours back. The PTO clutch was rebuilt and the drive clutch rebuilt at the same time.

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.
