steering wheel removal
Been trying for a while to remove the steering wheel on my 102,
 any ideas would be appreciated. Have tried a tie rod fork, no luck. I have a slide hammer puller but that didn't work either.

There are some videos on YouTube that show steering wheel removal while pitching a $80.00+ tool.
While noting their procedure, one can improvise and accomplish the same thing for less.

As I have said before I made a tool based on Matt's tool. I used a short piece of 2x4 about 10 inches long. I drilled a hole in the middle just a tad bigger than the steering column. I then turned it on its narrow side and drilled holes all the way through for bolts to hold it together. I then cut it down the center of the 4 in side. I put the two pieces under the steering wheel and bolted then together I then got our wheel puller out and located where holes were needed for the puller and drilled them and put a small square of heavy steel on top of the nut which I had screwed down even with the top. I then tightened the wheel puller down and wrenched it tight and hit the wheel puller with a hammer and the steering wheel popped loose. This was after about a week of soaking with PB Blaster. By coincidence it was also on a 102.

I've had the same problems getting steering wheels off. The last one I removed I purchase the steering wheel puller off the internet. Started soaking the area 3 times a day while tightening and loosening. Did this for five days finally on the fifth day as I tighten it,it pop boy was it loud. Just keep at it will moved JUST KEEP THE PB BLASTER ON IT! When it's seized like this it takes time for the PBB to soak all the way ii.
Another thing if you have air take a impact driver on top of the steering colum nut (leave it on as you do this) and vibrate the nut some times the vibration will help loose it. The try the procedure above altewrnate betwreen these two.

IF....you are in the business of removing a lot of steering wheels. You will have to decide whether that tool is worth the price just to remove one or two.

My O has a lot of pressure (and PBlaster) using Matt's puller made out of a block of oak. Nothing yet but I'll keep after it. It's hard to imagine that it could be stuck on there so well (except that it sat in the woods for years, I suppose!)

Here is a nifty puller set up out of steel. There is another version of it made of wood. I haven't used it myself but I hear it works very well.

When you do get a stubborn steering wheel off I would suggest that a liberal dose of antisieze after things are cleaned off and ready for reassembly.

Pb blaster it for a few days. Then thread the nut halfway onto the threads. With a 2-3 lb hammer soy down on the seat. Take your knees and put upward pressure on the underside of the wheel. Wack the nut a few times and the wheel should pop off.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
