Sounds like your tie rod and/or your drag link are out of adjustment. More than likely drag link needs shortened. Its just a matter of popping the end off spinning it on a few more turns and trying that. Hope this helps.

I have one like that and posted on here about it. A member (maybe Matt) told me it was set up that way for mowing but there should be enough adjustment in the tierods to straighten it out. I did and it helped a lot, but I don't quite have it just right yet.

I think that was me that posted earlier. On my "O" the thing wouldn't steer to one direction. Messed with the drag link and it didn't help. I disconnected the tie rod end and found that I couldn't turn the wheel the full radius because the spindle to axle interface was so full of rust , dirt and dried grease.
15 min with the usual cleaning tools (brake clean, Scotch Brite pads, then fresh grease and it's like power steering now... John

You need to adjust your drag link....the piece from the steering box to the left front spindle, adjusting the tie rods would increase or decrease the toe adjustment (center of tires if front closer= toe in center of tires in front farther apart= toe out).
To make it easier, turn steering wheel so the tires are facing straight ahead. Remove the drag link from the tractor, turn steering wheel lock to lock, counting revolutions, turn steering wheel to the center point of lock to lock. Then adjust the length of the drag link to fit from the hole in the steering box to the hole in left front spindle where it attaches. This will get you very close to having equal turning radius to the left and right.

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.
