Default O Steering Arm Length

Can someone tell me the length of the steering arm on an O? My tractor has always turned sharper right than left, so much so the tire would rub the steering arm at full right turn. I rebuilt the steering box and it is better, but it still turns more right, like the arm is too long. I have it adjusted all the way in and it measures 21". With some of the other PO mods I've found, I wonder if it is even the correct steering arm or one they had lying around. Any help is appreciated, here is a pic of my steering arm.

Thanks Lew, if I take off the ball joints, it measures 19-9/16" threaded end to end. I assume that is how you measured the 19-1/2"? The 21" I gave was ball joint stud to stud wound fully on, which I assume you realized. I can see the straight part is not perfectly straight, so maybe it had more than one bend at some point. Do you or anyone else know the offset of the 2 bends and there distance from the ends so I can bend it properly?

Thanks
Bill

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.
