Default 72 steering wheel shaft
Hey guys,
I can't get the acorn nut back on the steering wheel shaft of my 72, threads are ok, but shaft looks slightly crooked, how can I straighten it out or can I maybe file the top to slightly taper it to get the nut started?

You might need a die set Nikster. I can't verify but I think it's 1/2 x 20 maybe? And yes you can taper it but I would use the die if you can get one.

No I didn't, but I finally got the steering wheel off, so now can I buy just a new shaft, or get a whole new column? Or have mine repaired?

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.
