$125 electric power steering.
This is new to me but maybe you have seen it
A guy pulled an electric steering unit off a car and bought a wiring harness to make it work on his sports car. It could be a hard to tuck one of these units in a cub but there are enough people working on custom stuff that this might still be of interest. Maybe there are smaller units. They could be used anywhere to amplify the torque on a shaft. No idea how much. There are also this type |

I know some of those pull upwards of 60 amps of current and use a feedback signal for amount of boost pressure.

They have them for ATV's. They are too expensive an option IMHO. You can find the ATV ones on Evil-Pay.

The junk yard units are cheap enough if you pull them. |

It kind of is..... but it's not. When it calls for pressure, the cars have two different settings for power/pressure. Low and high. The auto ones are not going to work, but the ATV ones would.

If you buy this
and use it with the steering unit shown in the video it will work for an investment of about $125. The little box makes it happen. I have no plans to use one. Don't own stock in anything related to it. Just figured it was interesting which it is because you say it won't work but it does. At least in the movies. |

Listen man, he says in the vid that the assist box is from a 2002-2007 Saturn Vue. Well, that unit is powered through an 80 amp fuse (in the Vue). So, unless you can get a CC generator or alternator to put out upwards of 100 amps, it isn't going to work on a CC. I don't just watch vids and read on the internet man, I work on this stuff everyday. It's a neat idea...... but not with that particular equipment. Like I said, an ATV unit should be low enough amperage to possibly adapt, but I didn't even bother to dig into it to see how many amps they take. |

There was a thread on MTF about a guy adding power steering and he was using the hydraulics for and out board boat motor. Think it was in the Bolens section. Don't know if he ever got it finished.

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.
