    Don, By slop in the center spindle, do you mean the blade can rotate back and forth relative to the pulley? Or do you mean the entire spindle rocks back and forth? I had lots of rotating slop on my deck. The pulley is keyed to the top of the spindle with a woodruff key. In my case, the...

    Matt, Todd Thanks guys, I'll poke around tomorrow and let you know what I find. Good to know that just 'cause it rolls, it ain't necessarily busted bad.

    Hi all! I'm feeling that seasonal glow because Christmas came early this year... I went and picked up a 149 fixer yesterday: I've never worked on anything hydrostatic before so I'm looking forward to the challenge. I'm hoping some of you guys who've been around the block a few times can...

    Mike F: Last I checked, Portland was still in Oregon. It does stay pretty wet out here but you hit it during some of the worst rain storms in memory. Next time, come in July - October if you get the chance. Great way to escape the heat/humidity. Cubbies do seem to be in short supply out...

    Hi, all I need some help from the paint purists. Despite all the great information in the FAQ about various shades of white and stock numbers vs. manufacturer, my local CaseIH dealer has managed to stray into new territory. What I find on his shelf is "Cub Cadet White", stock number...

    Terry - I had a very similar situation with the center pulley on my (much older) deck. You'll most likely have to replace the entire center spindle. Looks like the spindle assemblies come off with three bolts on your model, which could save you the trouble of getting into the bearings...

    Looking for one spindle for an early mower deck ('63 - '68). These are the decks with the cast runners, and for which the spindle assemblies are NOT removable from the decks using three bolts. I'll be replacing the bearings so the condition and/or presence of the bearings are unimportant; I...

    Hi, all. I've got a problem with the center spindle on my early style mower deck. This is the deck where the spindle housings are integral with the cast pieces of the deck. Problem was, the dual pulley had about 15°of play relative to the main blade. When I tore it down, I found that the...

    Since someone mentioned steering, I have another question. My newly-acquired 122 drives like a waterbed. I noticed that when I start to turn the wheel, the entire front axle flexes fore-and-aft like a seesaw. Looking at the parts diagram, it is supposed to seesaw up and down, but not...

    Hi, all. A few more questions about my new (and disturbingly green) tractor. I'm pretty sure it's a 122 even though the back corners of the hood have been painted over and I can't find an ID tag on the rear. The tractor's been run aground a few times, so that the undercarriage and mule...

    Hi, all. I'm new here; just bought my first Cadet on Saturday, discovered the forum on Tuesday and signed up yesterday. What a gold mine of information! I hope I can contribute something along the way. I dropped the tractor off at the old family cemetery (~20 miles away) late Saturday...
