Look underneath at the steering box and see if the arm is moving when you turn the steering wheel. If not you may want to look at this rebuild post:

If the arm on the steering box moves when you turn the wheel, but the wheels don't, the problem should be very obvious. Is the drag link still connected?

Well if everything is turning but the wheels look at the steering arm on the top of the left spindle if it's going back and forth when you turn the steering wheel and the wheels are not turning the pin attaching it to the spindle is broken.

Show my lack of NF knowledge. I can never remember those things have spirol pins in the steering. I think I am going to put a WF front axle in my nephews 73 and not have to worry about that.

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.
