Default steering column pops out of dash
My steering wheel on my 104 constantly pops out of the dash. Then it wobbles around all over the place. Is there a part that goes here that is just wore out or am I maybe missing something? It seems like the wheel is too high to lock into the collar coming through the dash.

I'm not sure if this is you problem, this is how I fixed mine from popping out, it was on a 1450. The hole was already in the frame from the factory. The clamp is a 2" muffler clamp with a bracket welded to it.

To fix that, the column should really be removed from the tractor, cleaned, tube re-expanded, and then loc-tited and retained with a pop rivet.

Thats what I figured needed to happen. Everythings gettin tore down in the spring so I will just deal with it til then as long as a little snow plowing won't destroy anything.

That's a nice fix...I especially like the "no permanent mods done" method!

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.
