Default Dumb question about 1872 steering

It's power steering, & motor has to be running for it to be power, but is there some type of mechanical linkage also that will turn the wheels if it is not running? If the steering wheel turns an no turning at the front wheels, what's that mean?
Thanks

Hydraulic power steering= no mechanical linkage. (This is what the tractor has.)

Hydraulic power assisted steering= mechanical linkage. (That is what your car has.)

So, no, the wheels won't turn easily or may not at all without the engine running.

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.
