Default steering uprades

I'm looking to rebuild my whole steering setup on my 169. I want to rebuild the column and replace all 4 ball joints. I want it to be upgraded. I want to do the super steer upgrade and put Heim joint in. Could someone tell me where the best place to get this stuff? and what all I'll need. Also do you recommend doing anything else? thanks

Take a look at this site. This is where I got them for my 1650. They work great and I have not had any problems with them. They seem to have a good price on them.

I have also seen that there is a bearing that you can put in the top of the column (by the steering wheel) to replace the nylon bearing with a ball bearing setup. I saw it on a pulling website but i do not know what the bearing number would be. i would like to know the number for someplace like McMaster Carr.

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.
