Since your bushings are plastic you could get some thin wall plastic tubing or possibly any other thin sheet metal and make a patch around the spindles to tighten up those bushings. Brass, copper, stainless etc would make a good patch and not need to replace the spindles. Maintenance maintenance....
Thank you. I need to change a front tire on my Cub Cadet XT1 and neither the owners manual for the mower or the instructions for the replacement tire tell me how to do this. I'm sure I could figure out something but when I'm risking $1,500 bucks AND my safety I kind of like to know what the hell I'm doing! I really appreciate the help. You came through for me where Home Depot and Cub Cadet failed miserably! And what the hell is the deal with PLASTIC bushings on a TRACTOR??? John
these bushings are plastic they also come with the Arnold 15 in universal front tractor wheel. as they last a few seasons as i would go with a wheel that has ball bearings as they will last longer as Tractor Supply and others have them as these wheels the plastic bushings are for light duty applications or smaller machines. and are also ideal for beach cart conversions like the wonder wheeler put these on the back wheels they won't dig ditches in the sand. i put tow of these Arnold Universal lawntractor wheels on a Kubota T1560 a 2001 model they held up fine till the machine got replaced last year by a John Deere X350 tlawn tractor with the same size front tires but far much better bearings.
you should just replace the front wheels if you can find used ones with metal bushings or ball bearings in them as they will last the life of the machine a cheap bushing on which MTD uses on their tractors Cub Cadet, Bolens, Yard machines, Yard man, Troy Bilt, Huskee and other brands made by MTD
@@nsbconstruction9698 Well, unless it still doesn't want to come out. Finally got it turned right, put a screw driver in the top, and hit the screw driver with a hammer. This sucker did NOT want to come out.

When you buy the Arnold universal replacement lawn tractor tire it will also have these plastic bushings both for 5/8 and 3/4 spindles.
Bad design is should have a threaded spindle and metal bushings then installed with a nut and washer like a car then have the cotter pin like a car.

Helpful advice 👌
I have the same setup... really would like to replace with a proper bearing.
you should turn off auto stabilizer, it makes your video more clear in this case
Push what back on. Which way does it face??
Hey you look like that man with the youtube channel, FEARLESS FRONT.
I was looking for a video for how to get the cotter pin out. This one starts right AFTER that has already been done.
Cotter pin is pretty basic, just bend it straight and pull it out.

Thanks for this. Appreciate it. 🙂👍
wish you showed how you got the pin out of the side there. That's the part I'm dealing with right now.
If you put a flat head screwdriver in the hole you can pry it out
What model number bushing did you buy? Thanks
Sorry don't recall, that was moons ago.
Actually the numbers are in the video
lol thanks
You should put your camera by the wheel so we could see exactly what your doing not on the right side
Dude We can't see what you're Doing you are all out of the camera can't see what parks in taking off and putting on
did this fix a camber problem?
Yes, the wheels were wobbling horribly. Check your spindles as well though.
Mine are wobbling is the bushing the cause of it? Idk how to fix it lol
More than likely it is the bushing and or spindle.
