Good question....
I didn't have a good answer.....time for a few pictures.
This is what the steering box looks like today that was done 7 years ago:

There was a little grease around the lever and bolt assembly:



The 70 is the most used IH Cub Cadet I have. I do not use this Cub to mow the grass or plow snow. To the best of my knowledge I never done any cleaning around the steering box.

I sprayed parts of my yard Wednesday and Thursday. The 70 steered just as easy today as it did when I rebuilt it 7 years ago.
