Default Steering Wheel Removal??
I am getting some play in my steering, and wanted to pull the steering column to adjust the play. I am unable to remove the wheel after removing the nut. Is there a special puller I need to remove this?
Thanks!! My tractor is a 1977 IH Cub Cadet 1000.

Do a search "steering wheel removal" and you see about 2 pages of few threads on the topic.

You can make follower stud adjustments with the gear box in place if that's what you need to do. No need to pull the column out unless you are rebuilding it.

I usually just loosen the nut, spray it with penetrating oil, and put my knees under the wheel and pull up while hitting the nut with a hammer and a piece of brass, if that doesn't work, I do the same thing except this time I put a puller on it and tighten it down good, has worked for me every time.

I did one yesterday , partially remove the nut and then I used the knees and one hand to pull up on the wheel, then with the air hammer tool, pops off every time.

Just did the same thing on my 682 and 1250,I used a bearing puller tool and a 3 jaw puller, tightened it down and it popped right off.

guess i got lucky with my 782. got the nut off and the steering wheel lifted off with no effort. the knees under the wheel and tapping the nut with a hammer trick does work good! just make sure you aren't hitting the threads of the steering shaft.

Both Lew and Nick have great ideas. I now prefer Lew's method with the air chisel. Quicker and I have an air chisel to use. If ya don't have one available, soak it with a good penetrating oil and she will come loose.

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.
