I pulled a part my steering box after stopping at Houtz's to get bearings. When i pulled it a part there was only the reminance of one bushing on the top of the shaft. The guys at Houtz's said that they have seen them with one,two or no bushings. I ordered one for the top of the shaft but was curios if anyone had seen this before?

Jerry,
This morning you asked how the lower grille section stays on the 82 series Cadet. There should be a spring on the left and right side of the grille. One spring end goes into a small hole at the top of the chrome grille, the other end hooks into a small hole at the bottom corner of the aluminum grille housing. This photo shows just the right side spring. The left side is done the same way. To the left of the spring is the hole that the chrome grille bottom peg fits into. That holds the bottom in place.

Steve, all the parts went onto a newly rebuilt K301 so it's kind of hard to compare. It sure starts and runs nice. I really like the remote breather cover as it helps keep the engine clean by routing the breather gases down and away.
Kraig,
Well, I have an oil leak and I don’t know exactly from where. I posted here a couple of times about it. I told my dealer and explained where, and what this forum suggested as places to look. Oh, and by the way, money is very (very, very) short. The dealer started with a queue of 10 days and a list -- oil pan $99, oil gasket $6.00, motor mounts 4@$22 each, front and rear seals @ about $8 each, $60/hr labor, and $60 for pick up and delivery. I can’t do it. As a second suggestion I was told to clean it up, then run it for ½ hour and look to see if it is apparent where the problem is. That’s what I’m doing. So while it’s out of service for at least a few days I’m cleaning it, taking pictures for before and after, I thought I would take off the rear tires and get tubes installed, as I have a air leak on the right rear too.. I thought that if I put the tractor up I could inspect the oil pan for any sign after the clean up and run.
Now for the real problem. I have no idea what I’m doing with this machine. I have the manuals. I’m better than handy, but right now I don’t know where the leak is, how serious it is, and if I, working on my own, can make it better. I have caked oil soaked grass all over the front bottom of the tractor. I’m feeling really down about this. I don’t know where this is going, and I’m pretty sure I won’t know what to do when I get there. I’m hoping people here will have mercy on a rookie. Meanwhile the grass is growing, growing…

Gary, we were all rookies at one time. Cubs are easy to work on, go slow, take photos for reference and posting and you should do just fine.
Gary - I have the same problem with my Toyota. A guy put a front crank seal in since I've read so much about them leaking there. It wasn't bad ... Now I have to scrape off a ton of oil and concreted mud to find the leak.
Don't get tore up about it , it's just a leak. Chances are it's a gasket, if not then the oil pan is cracked. There are cheaper ones to be had in the classifieds or if it comes to it just send it to me and for the cost of turn-a-round shipping it'll be fixed.
But first take a deep breath and get it cleaned up.

Ken,
Please tell me more on how to properly fix my grille. What I did sort of works, but the headlights aren't level. On the right side of the photo behind the grille you can barely see the two screws that holds the triangular aluminum sheet metal to the grille housing. Behind the Phillips head screw at the headlight is a thick nylon washer to hold the grille away from the headlight.

Hey guys. hope everyone is doing okay, I haven't been on for about a week, had a lot going on. Getting ready for graduation, I got my Associates degree in IT/Networking after being out of school for 19 years. So I am planning on making my mothers dream come true, she will get to see me walk at graduation. ( As I never did this for high school- I quit and got a GED)
Oh and KENtuck--- Thanks it arrived last thursday. IT was greatly appreciated.
