123 Tie rod
Long story short: previous owner must have ran in to something, messed up the steering knuckles. He sort-of fixed it, but it has never been right.
I think one or both of the steering knuckles are tweaked, not sure which. But I think I could make a decent repair if I knew the length of the tie rod that goes between the knuckles... part number IH-384632-R1.... (I am not at the tractor at the moment to measure). I might be able to fix it OK with a tie rod that is an inch or so longer than original. Currently, the tie rod ends are holding on to just enough threads to keep them on. I will also try to straighten the knuckle(s).

The best fix is to repair the steering knuckles and keep the tie rod stock. If not feasible, maybe make or get someone to make a tie rod extension? Or make a new one from rod stock...

Any idea where I should look for parts? I would rather fix it right.

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.
