LOTS of PB Blaster.... let it soak in good, may even take overnight. When I took the wheel off my 127 it was about 45 minutes worth of work.

i can't remember who it was that posted the pictures (he will let you know) but he used blocks of woods and said that it came off real easy and with no damage at all. i'm sorry my mind slips me in my early age (asphalt to the head as a teen). jeff

I'd make a puller like I posted in my 682 thread...I hope you were planning on replacing the bearings in the column, because you'll have to now.

While beating the crap out of if, use upward pressure at 12, 3, 6, and 9 oclock changing with each wack and it should pop right off, at least mine did. Good luck

Take a narrow pickle fork and pound that between the steering wheel and the tube, then take a 5/16 bolt (I think) with a nut and inch or two up and put that in the hole and give that a whack. I've had the best luck this way. A stubborn one you may have to hit the bolt, then the fork, then the bolt again, and so on. Don't pound too hard on the fork, as not to damage the steering wheel or the tube, just some solid constant pressure.

Hey Nick,
45 minutes lost, and still not off. Maybe wrecked your bearings. Been there, done that. Check out this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQJlvbw8NXQ

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.
