Default power steering on 1872
I need to see a pic of how the power steering box mounts on one of these 1872 and if possible what the parts look like for the column up to the steering wheel. The reason for asking is I plan on putting this on my 149 because I welded the 1" boat axles to get the 4 lug pattern wheels & 18x9.50x8 on front & I'm running the 26x12x12 out back, I guess I'm making the poor mans "SUPER GARDEN TRACTOR" LOL. thanks for any pics.

Bob

Have you upgraded your existing steering box with the thrust bearing??

If not, you might be pleasantly surprised that the PS upgrade is not needed.

Check Ebay for this upgrade.

The cost of the power steering changeover might be in the range of the price of a 1872. That is unless you have a "donor" tractor already.

The 1862 PS cylinder mount would be a lot closer to fitting than one from a Super because the 1862's frame length is basically the same as your 149.

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.
