Steering ball bearing upgrade
I've been wanting to upgrade the steering to use a ball bearing for some time now. I actually bought the parts well over a year ago. We spent 2 hours last Sat. looking for them--it turns out I have spare parts for everything but Cub Cadets---they didn't have a designated place to be. Anyway, we had the 128 in the shop for routine maintenance and decided this would be a good time to do it. I don't really see where changing from the original thrust washer setup to the Nice bearing (I can't remember the number, something like a 605 or 606 maybe) makes a big difference. I did notice a lot of other slop in the steering so the plan is now to pull the engine and tighten things up from the steering box to the front axle. I think the plate the steering rod is hooked to is warped pretty bad so the steering box needs to be torn apart and the job done right. I bought enough bearings and locknuts to do 7 machines, we have 4 plus a Deere with that same setup. The 128 will have to wait until cold weather for me to open up the steering. We do have a 129 waiting to have the engine pulled for an oil seal replacement so it will probably get its steering "fixed" first. Just a bit of a ramble here, my point being don't think the bearing upgrade alone will give you "power steering".

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.
