Thanks to Lew, I received a better cap for my steering wheel on my 147. This is what a PO had put on there:
A spray paint cap-- ![]() This is what it looks like now ![]() I have to fix the boot as it needs help, and the cap is currently just resting in place, and not fixed very securely. ![]() Any thoughts on some sort of two part epoxy patch or something that is paintable to match? Has anyone had any luck with a product that I'm unaware of? Thanks

Being your steering wheel is cracked, your cap will be loose. I just wrapped double sided tape on the cap and stuck it in.
It's still in, so it works. Big improvement over the paint cap ![]()

Small world, I got a wheel center for my 147 from Lew as well.
![]() FYI, the boot on my wheel is in perfect shape and the cap still just kind of clunks in loosely. ![]() |

i wonder if it could be melted a little on both sides of the crack than pressed together and held that way with a c-clamp or electrical tape wrapped around it. with the cap out of it of course. that would be my first try. than filed and sanded smooth. no painting required.

What worked for me was some some clear silicone caulking.It stays flexible and if you ever need to remove the cap its very easy.I just set the cap in place and put a small bead at the point where the cap meets the wheel.It has been there for about 3 yrs now with no problems,although I did have to remove it once and it was very easy!!!!!!!

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.
