Front Axle Pivot Pin, Tie Rod, Heim Joints, Drag Link Steering Joints and Custom-Made Steering Links - NOTE: Before ordering any of the parts listed below, it'll be best to completely disassemble your steering assembly and thoroughly clean all the parts to determine exactly which replacement part(s) it will need. Because certain parts wear more than others, while other parts don't wear at all.
Zinc-Plated Steel Nylon
Insert Steering Wheel Retaining Jam Locknut. Will not loosen under normal
circumstances. Fits all Cub Cadet garden tractors and other makes and models
of garden tractors with 5/8-18 UNF threads on steering shaft. IMPORTANT
- For easier installation of this nut, use a 5/8-18 UNF
threading die and
die holder wrench to straighten damaged threads on shaft,
and for much easier removal of steering wheel, apply
anti-seize compound/lubricant on splines of steering wheel
hub and steering shaft, then torque nut to 65 ft. lb. High quality
aftermarket. Replaces discontinued Cub Cadet part # 912-3021. $3.00
each, plus shipping & handling.

Felt Sealing Washer for
Upper Steering Column Shaft. Blocks contamination of dust and dirt that can
wear the upper bushing. Apply oil to trap more dust and dirt. Not required
with sealed bearing listed further below. Fits all models of IH- and MTD-built
Cub Cadet garden tractors and other makes and models of garden tractors with
a 3/4" steering shaft. Made of interwoven wool. Dimensions: 3/4" I.D. x 1-1/4"
O.D. x 1/4" thick.
|
![]() Teflon Thrust Washers for Steering Knuckles and Front
Axle. These washers are made of very tough, long wearing and slippery
polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE), and not ordinary nylon or plastic. Reduces steering effort about
85% and eliminates metal to metal friction, which can result in hard steering
and wear to axle and steering knuckles (even when knuckles are lubricated
once a year). Installs where steering knuckles makes contact with underneath
of axle (load-bearing and friction area), and is centered by the steel
bushings/spacers (listed below). Teflon provides easier steering with physical
effort needed to turn the steering wheel, especially with a snow plow or
front end loader bucket. Teflon is self-lubricating, meaning it resists binding
even if grease dries out. Unlike needle bearings, which often require grinding
down the axle casting to fit, solid Teflon washers cannot get packed with
grass clipping dust or debris. Each Teflon thrust washer listed below fits
various makes and models of garden tractors with 3/4", 7/8" or 1" diameter
front vertical spindle shafts. Apply automotive grease when installing. Go

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Steering
Knuckle/Front Axle Bronze Bushings. Replace worn bushings for dilapidated
front tires and for easier steering. Fits Cub Cadet garden tractor models
982, 984, 986, 1572, 1772, 1782, 1872, 1882, 1912, 1914, 2072, 2082, 2084,
2086, 2182 and 2284. Dimensions: 1" I.D. x 1.125" O.D. x 1" Length. Use these
to replace existing OEM 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. IMPORTANT: If no Zerk grease
fitting are installed in the axle to lubricate the spindle shafts for
easier steering and longevity of the bushings, it's recommended to install
these, too. For
preventive maintenance and smoother steering, lubricate
these parts through Zerk grease fitting with
an
automotive grease gun once a year. High quality
aftermarket. Replaces discontinued Cub Cadet part #'s 741-3005, 941-3005.
$18.00/set of 4 bushings, plus shipping & handling. |
![]() Zerk Grease Fittings. For preventive
maintenance, if a grease fitting isn't already installed, one should be installed
in [one piece] wheel hubs or outer tubing of a rotating shaft so the [unshielded]
bearings/bushings or shaft will last longer when lubricated once a year with
an
automotive grease gun. Do not use a grease fitting on split
rim wheels. Remember - the moving part will likely wear more than the stationary
part. To install a grease fitting, drill a 13/64" hole, and use a 1/4-28
UNF TAPER hand tap to cut new threads for installation of the 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 so the threads on the grease fitting will
not interfere with the inner shaft) to lubricate a moving inner shaft, weld
a
jam nut with 1/4-28 UNF threads on the tubing, then drill
a 3/16" hole nut/tubing, and install the grease fitting (with short threads)
in the nut. Remember - grease fittings provide
preventive maintenance when they're used regularly. Because
grease cost less than any major repair of equipment.
