If the first cam follower went similar to the second I wish I had it to test. I did run my finger on the worm gear and it was smooth to the touch. I didn't notice anything out of the norm on it. Last time I replaced the bearings races and cam follower. I have same coming just in case it needs it. I'm not cobing it with something else. The cam follower is new same as last time.

Not making a trailer queen, it's hasn't been redone but it sure was well taken care. It had a good life and looks good after all these years. I just hate to see them just sit in the barn and go untouched. I want to see it work.

I'll keep an eye on that worm gear too.

Funny thing the steering on the Oliver super 55 I have went last summer too. It is almost the same setup. Bearings top and bottom of a worm gear. However it has ball bearing that run in a sort of tube that it wraps around the worm gear. No cam follower on that one. Guess it was a lot like the 8N ford too. It must have been economic to make and is for sure easy to work on.
The Oliver has a recirculating ball setup typical of lot of manual steering gears.
The worm/stud is a lot less expensive and generally used where a light duty works without a problem.
I believe Ross invented the recirc ball system and it has been improved and powered.
Saginaw was considered the best for many years, but heavy
Today most is rack/pinion and hyd power or electric.

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.
