Steering rebuild- pitman arm sector shaft (?) crooked
Rebuilding my Ross steering box off my 1450 and checked the pitman arm and the plate was bent, likely from the factory when they welded in the shaft. This was a pretty easy fix, just put it in a big vice and hammered until it straightened, checking with a straight edge.
I reassembled the box and notice one end of the travel was stiffer than the other, so something was not right. Upon further inspection, I notice that the sector shaft (not sure if this is the right terminology- it's where the Nice 606 upgrade is installed) not straight. I think the factory screwed up and welded it in crooked as the shaft itself is straight. This causes the steering to get tighter at one end of the travel compared to the other, due to the plate compressing further against the foam seal- I can visually see this. Has anyone else noticed this? Any correction suggestions? So far, I tried to clamp it in a vice and use a really long metal pipe for leverage to attempt to bend it, but mine appears to be welded in crooked from the beginning, so I'm afraid bending it will cause it to bind. I don't have welding or oxy-acetylene equipment so my next step is to take it to a local welding shop and have them correct it. I also know ICHWW has replacement ones but at $100 and no guarantee those aren't crooked too is a little steep. Any other suggestions? You can see it against the right angle of some steel how the shaft is not at 90 degrees. I was hoping to have my tractor done this weekend so I can do the first mow but looks like I'll be using the push mower

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.
