Don't steer to the right
 

hey guys you all been a huge help with my new adventure, but doese anyone have any recomondations on how to get a 1970 cub to steer tighter going to the right:BangPC:

Sounds like your tie rod and/or your drag link are out of adjustment. More than likely drag link needs shortened. Its just a matter of popping the end off spinning it on a few more turns and trying that. Hope this helps.

tried that bruce doesnt get any better have both front tires turned in the same with 1/4 in difference front to back steering shaft centered. but no difference think maybe someone changed one of the bars?

I have one like that and posted on here about it. A member (maybe Matt) told me it was set up that way for mowing but there should be enough adjustment in the tierods to straighten it out. I did and it helped a lot, but I don't quite have it just right yet.

my 123 is this way. turns way more to the right then left. it works great for mowing. i have it adjusted all the way for more right side turn. its close but not all the way.

"dont steer to the right" Maybe it's a Nascar tractor:biggrin2:

I think that was me that posted earlier. On my "O" the thing wouldn't steer to one direction. Messed with the drag link and it didn't help. I disconnected the tie rod end and found that I couldn't turn the wheel the full radius because the spindle to axle interface was so full of rust , dirt and dried grease.

15 min with the usual cleaning tools (brake clean, Scotch Brite pads, then fresh grease and it's like power steering now...

Ditto....same with my 782, but after a thorough greasing of the steering column and spindles, it's like a new tractor!

You need to adjust your drag link....the piece from the steering box to the left front spindle, adjusting the tie rods would increase or decrease the toe adjustment (center of tires if front closer= toe in center of tires in front farther apart= toe out).

To make it easier, turn steering wheel so the tires are facing straight ahead. Remove the drag link from the tractor, turn steering wheel lock to lock, counting revolutions, turn steering wheel to the center point of lock to lock. Then adjust the length of the drag link to fit from the hole in the steering box to the hole in left front spindle where it attaches. This will get you very close to having equal turning radius to the left and right.
