Steering Gearbox for 982
 

Was just mowing grass with 982 and the steering got real tough and then nothing. It’s in the steering gear. I haven’t even began to search for a replacement, figured I’d check here first for recommendations, thanks

If you did not know, the steering on a 982 is NOT the same as the rest of the Cadets--its basically a scaled up version. I even did the ball bearing upgrade on mine but it uses a larger bearing/nut and I had to do some grinding on the frame with a Dremel to get it to fit. I don't know why, but something tells me there may have been 2 different steering setups on those. Search the parts book really good. I've got something Cadet that had 2 different versions and the second version was BURIED in the parts book. FYI, if you are running the original Onan, should you ever need a carb kit they used 2 different carbs as well--get the numbers off the carb.

Can you repair what needs fixed on your steering box?
Or did you break the casting?
They are pretty simple. :beerchug:
