Rude is described as crude or rough in form, ignorant, discourteous, unmannerly, showing little skill and so on. This is you. These pages exist for us to help each other, but you cannot let a perceived mistake lie. You just have to take a shot.
Beats me. There was a substantial lock washer, flat washer and serious nut to hold all together. When loosened nothing moved. When chiseling the small part that was seized to the hub I was careful to not bugger-up the threads. Can see where splines would have made things easier but I hold no IH grudges, the CC was great, except for this, not a moment of trouble.
Calling me rude while insulting my skill and intelligence. Pot, meet kettle.
I certainly don't know everything, and will never claim to, but every IH Cub Cadet garden tractor ever made was produced with a splined steering shaft with a taper below it, and an nut to retain the wheel on the steering shaft, as shown in the photo Kraig posted on the last page. Every single one of them, including your 102, left the factory this way. I don't know why this is so difficult for you to comprehend, but just because something was altered on YOUR single tractor somewhere along the line before you obtained it, it does not mean that all of them came that way.
