looseness, then back off until pitman arm rotates freely without binding.
NOTE: The Easy Steer Upgrade Kit will NOT work on the

and 2284, and various other makes and models of garden tractors with 3/4",
7/8" or 1" diameter front spindle shafts. These are not ordinary plastic
washers. These are made of very tough, long wearing and slippery
polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE) plastic. Use ordinary automotive chassis grease when lubricating
front spindles. Eliminates metal to metal friction, which can result in hard
steering, reduces steering effort about 85% and prevents wear to axle and
steering knuckles. Works great for general lawn and garden use, and/or tractors
with a heavy snow plow and/or front loading bucket. Installs where steering
knuckles makes contact with underneath of axle (load-bearing and friction
area). Go here for more information:

|
  Bronze Front Axle
Bushings for Garden Tractors with 3/4" or 1" Diameter Spindle Shafts. When
replacing existing OEM bushings, accurately measure the O.D. x O.D. x length
for replacements of same size. Or use these to replace existing worn bushings
or repair worn (oblong) axle spindle holes when no bushings are originally
installed (when the spindles make metal to metal contact with the cast iron
axle). If no bushings were originally installed in the axle, then spindle
holes must be professionally precision-aligned bored (machined) to accept
bushings. Other sizes of bushings are available. Please let A-1 Miller's
know what you need and I can probably get it for you at a reasonable
price.NOTE: If no Zerk grease fittings are
installed in the axle to lubricate the spindle shafts and for easier steering
and longevity of the bushings, it'll be a good idea to install these, too.
|
 Zerk
Grease Fittings. NOTE: Use a 1/4-28 UNF hand tap (preferably Taper
type) to cut new threads for installation of a grease fitting.
Click or tap here to
learn how to professionally drill for and cut new threads. FYI
- If a grease fitting needs to be used in a thin-wall steel tubing (that's
too thin to cut deep enough threads into) to lubricate a moving inside shaft,
weld a
jam nut with 1/4-28 UNF threads to the tubing, then drill
a 3/16" hole through the nut and tubing, and install a grease fitting with
short threads in the nut. [Return

this type of service.

 Heavy Duty, Oil-Impregnated
Metal Graphite Flanged Wheel Bushing. Fits a variety of lawn tractors and
garden tractors. Oil impregnated means the hardened metal is porous to
absorb oil and grease so it will last longer. Also, the oil acts as a cushion
between the bearing and shaft, adding resistance to wear. When installing,
align the flat area on the bushing with the Zerk
grease fitting. If there is no grease fitting in the hub of the wheel(s),
then one will need to be installed so the bushings will last much longer
when lubricated regularly with high quality automotive chassis lube.
Dimensions: 3/4" O.D. x 1-3/8" O.D. x 9/16" overall width (1/2" fits inside
wheel hub) x 1-1/2" O.D. flange. Replaces Cub Cadet part # IH-384881-R94.
Our part # 09-3305-3/4. $14.00 per set of 4 bushings, plus shipping
& handling.

A-1 Miller's Computerized Stuska Water Brake Engine Dynamometer (Dyno) Service with DPM Data Logger Software to Test Horsepower and Torque! | [Top of Page]
For performance testing of 10-16hp
single cylinder Kohler stock or competition pulling engines at speeds up
to 12,000 RPM. 100% accurate, customers can rent dyno time, fine tune and
make adjustments or changes to their engines to gain maximum horsepower and
torque, and print-out the results so their tractor(s) will be truly competitive
on the track. With an engine dyno, the puller can adjust their engine to
get maximum horsepower and torque, and gear their tractor appropriately to
have an advantage over the competition. NOTE: A fresh-built engine may
not produce full power until it's broke-in. This is when the valves wear-in
with the seats to completely seal in the compression. The rings will likely
hold the compression, but the valves may leak slightly until they wear into
the seats. This is normal for all engines and may take several hours or pulls
to happen, then the valves will be able to hold full compression. Lots of
pullers tell A-1 Miller's after I've built their engines that it seems to
pull stronger every time they pull it.
Engine Dyno Rental Fee: $50.00 per hour run time from the moment the engine is started. No setup fee for Cub Cadet engines with a 3- or 6-pin/stud clutch driver. An adapter may need to be needed or fabricated for other makes and models of engines. Only engines with the narrow base oil pan can be tested. Engines with the wide base (tall) oil pan cannot be tested at this time. [Return to Previous Section, Paragraph or Website]

the update in my websites with prices of the plans. Remember - Perfection
takes time. If it's worth having, it's worth waiting for. Also, I plan to
acquire a bigger shop and may build high quality garden tractor pulling sleds

cup-shaped neoprene rubber seal bonded to an aircraft quality flat washer.
Rubber edge fits snug against Heim joint body to prevent dust, dirt, debris
and moisture from entering the spherical ball, which will cause it to wear.
Apply motor oil on ball before installing seals to help it operate smoother
and extend life of Heim joint. Seals for 1/4" Heim joints not available.

71, 100, 102, certain 122's and 123's, 128, 129, 149 and 169. Dimensions:
1/2-20 UNF (fine thread) x 1.700"± overall length. Can be used as an
alternative for cam follower listed below
Ê (aftermarket or IH-62806-C2). Cam followers

Flanged Sealed Ball Bearing.
Has an integrated flange. Fits upper steering column tube/shaft in certain
Cub Cadet models 72, 73, 86, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 124, 125, 126,
127, 128, 129, 147, 149, 169, 582, 680, 782, 800, 982, 984, 986, 1000, 1100,
1200, 1250, 1450 and 1650, and various other later makes and models of garden
tractors without bushing retainer at top of steering column tube. Makes for
smoother, effortless and easier steering. Dimensions: 3/4" O.D. x 1-3/8"
O.D. x 9/16" width x 1-1/2" O.D. flange. NOTE: End of steering column
must be crimped inward with large pliers so bearing will fit snug inside
tube. These are NOT the low quality flanged bearings that's available
at most hardware stores. These have hardened, heated-treated steel races
and balls, sealed on both sides and pre-packed with grease for longer wear.
Do-It-Yourself Weld-In Drop Spindle Shafts. Make the
front of your Cub Cadet competition garden pulling tractor as low as it will
go for better weight distribution and more traction when pulling down the
track! Lowers front end approximately 2-3/8" on wide and spread frame Cub
Cadet models 86, 108, 109, 128, 129, 149, 169, 582, 582 Special, 680, 682,
782, 800, 882, 1000, 1050, 1100, 1200, 1204, 1210, 1211, 1250, 1282, 1450,
1512, 1535 or 1650. Can also be used to construct custom-made front axles,
such as for a mini-rod pulling tractor. Standard length of installed [Cub
Cadet] spindle shafts is 3-1/8" for wheels with a 3" width center hub, but
these are available in any other length to accommodate the width of the center
hub in your front wheels. To install, cut off original spindle shafts
flush with steering knuckles, and depending on diameter of shafts, drill
a 3/4" or 1" hole in knuckles approximately 2-3/8" higher/upward from original
shaft location. For front tires to set perpendicular (exact 90° angle)
with the ground, replacement shafts will need to be positioned perpendicular
with each knuckle, then securely weld shaft to backside of knuckle for
non-interference with spacing of wheel/rim. An ingenious and innovative
concept by Brian Miller. Please accept no advertised copycat products of
this kind. (But I do appreciate them acknowledging my intelligence.)
Heavy Duty, Oil-Impregnated
Metal Graphite Flanged Wheel Bushing for the IH Cub Cadet "Original" with
7/8" diameter front spindle shafts and 1-3/8" O.D. wheel hubs. Oil impregnated
means the hardened metal is porous to absorb oil and grease so it will last
longer. Also, the oil acts as a cushion between the bearing and shaft, adding
resistance to wear. When installing, align the flat area on the bushing with
