 "Easy Steer" Upgrade Kit.
Makes for smoother, effortless and easier steering. Fits all IH- and certain
MTD-built Cub Cadet, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Ford LGT, Jacobsen, MTD
Farm King, Wheel Horse and various other makes and models of garden tractors
with the CCC or ROSS aluminum housing steering box, except Cub Lo-Boy.
Provides slightly less effort when steering tractor. Each kit includes new

and
thrust
washer on 5/8" or 3/4" diameter pitman arm stud. Install bearing with
shielding (wording on bearing) against steering box, and tighten nut to remove
looseness, then back off until pitman arm rotates freely without binding.
NOTE: The Easy Steer Upgrade Kit will NOT work on the
steering box with the pivot shaft bolt NOT welded to the steering arm in
MTD-built Cub Cadet models 782, 784, 786, 1340, 1440, 1535, 1541, 1810, 1811,
1861, 1863, 1912 and 1914 because the protruding threads are too short.

Shafts). Makes for smoother, effortless and easier steering. Fits Cub Cadet
"Original" and Cub Cadet models 70, 71, 72, 73, 86, 100, 102, 104, 108, 109,

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:

models 70, 71, 100, 102, 122 and 123, and various other early makes and models
of garden tractors. OEM bearing retainer and bushing can be replaced with

|
  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

by Brian Miller, because nobody else advertise 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]
Coming Soon - Detailed Illustrated
Plans on How to Construct a Professional Pull-Back and Self-Propelled Garden
Tractor Pulling Sled. FYI - I have lots of
work to do in my shop and I work on my sled plans in my spare time. As soon
as my plans with an inventory list of parts to use are perfected, I'll post
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
in the future to offer for sale. Please call 573-256-0313 (shop) or 573-881-7229

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 Spindle Shafts to lower front end
2-3/8"± on wide and spread frame Cub Cadet models 86, 108, 109, 128,

1200, 1204, 1210, 1211, 1250, 1282, 1450, 1512, 1535 or 1650 for better weight
transfer in competition pulling. Can also be used to construct custom-made
front axles, such as for a mini-rod pulling tractor. Standard length of [Cub
Cadet] shaft is 3-1/8" for wheels with a 3" width center hub, but available
in any other lengths to accommodate the width of the hub in your front wheels.
To install, cut off original spindle shafts flush with steering knuckle,
and drill a 3/4" hole in steering knuckles
2-3/8"± higher than original shafts
location. Replacement spindle shafts will need to be positioned perpendicular
(exact 90° angle) with steering knuckle, then securely weld to backside
of knuckle for non-interference with spacing of rim.
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
