Removing Hydro Lever
I'm having a tough time removing the lever from the splined shaft to which it is attached. I have it so it moves maybe an eighth inch up and down on the splines, but then stops like it is hitting something. I removed the set screw before starting, and at first had no movement whatsoever. Hit it with WD40 and tried prying but theres no real easy way I can see to force it off. Must be a burr or something in the way. I'm not sure if its possible, but I'm going to try removing the shaft from the dash tower and then see if I can get the lever off from the bench. Anyone have any other tips or suggestions?? Thanks in advance.

Try using PB Blaster instead of WD40. I have found this is way better. Spray in the set screw hole and allow it to soak & work. Then lift and wiggle at the same time. A lot of people have had good results with this procedure.

Thanks, though based on the feel, I don't think its rust thats holding this on. It slides up/down with a push, than stops abruptly. I'm thinking a burr where the set screw thread in. If I can get the whole rod out, I can put it in a vise and give it a little motivation to come off with a hammer. As it is now, all I can do is put a vise grip on the rod, and try to pry it off using that as the fulcrum. I don't want to damage the lever casting in the process.

OK, I stand corrected. Never should have doubted all your experience RB. :biggrin2.gif: I disconnected the mounting bolts which allowed me to raise the lever/rod. This provided some room to hit it with a wooden mallet from below. That, and some PB seemed to get the job done. So thanks for the great suggestion RB......Now, how do you get the steering wheel off??? I removed the nut off the threaded shaft, but she don't want to move. Tried a wheel puller, only mangled up some more, an already mangled steering wheel. More PB and a hammer maybe????

Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Mid Michigan Posts: 225 Steering Wheel Removal -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Obtain a 5/8” – 18 x 4” bolt and nut. I get Grade 8. Sit in the seat of your Cub Cadet Tractor. Place you legs in such a fashion, that you can apply upward pressure with your knees on the under side of the Steering Wheel. Screw the nut onto the bolt, about 1/2 way. Screw on that assembly, onto the Steering Shaft until it bottoms out. Inspec, that the nut from the above assembly, is NOT resting on the Steering Wheel Hub. There has to be a gap here. While applying upward pressure with your knees, give the Grade 8 bolt a few whacks with a big hammer. This jarring should release the steering wheel from the shaft.. This is one way of removing the Steering Wheel. There are other methods also. Special fabricated pullers have been used with success. __________________ CC Models: 100, 105, 129, 1450, & 784 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last edited by R Bedell; 03-29-2009 at 09:06 AM.

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.
