Good looking tractor. Looks to be in great shape. Has it been repainted?
1963 Chief 100-C i just picked up
Cute lil bugger....may need a replacement deck at some point though, or at the least a good shell

Very clean machine! Definitely in a lot nicer shape than mine! 
Where is your voltage regulator mounted? Mine is to the inside of the console, which yours doesn't seem to be: I don't see the bolts coming through the console. My seat was also replaced with a cheap low-back lawn tractor seat. Seeing yours has inspired me to remake one for mine. Mine also has no grill.

Should be a bushing in the front axle but I'm betting that the bolt and the holes in the frame are a bit worn.
I had to weld up the holes and the bolt on my old Ford 100/Jacobson Chief 1000. Pretty easy fix if you have a welder and a die grinder. I welded up the grooves that were worn into the bolt and turned it down on my uncles Lathe. And welded up the holes and reshaped them with my little die grinder and a carbide burr. Probably could have just used a drill bit but I did not have 1 that size.
Part 18 is the bushing.
