Default *•* Dirty Wheel *•*
Well I've been trying to think of a way to save my original steering wheel on my Cub Cadet 73 and googled steering wheel wrap and came up with the paracord idea. So went to the ole box store and got me 60' of green yellow and black stripped paracord 1/8 thick and started to wrap it. I saw a video on YouTube of a guy wrapping his fishing net so I did it the way he did and it turned out really good. My steering wheel had chunks of rubber missing off it and just didn't look appealing to the eye. So if you have a bad looking steering wheel this may work out for you.

I knew that comment was coming about the "green". I like it turned out good to me.

I spent $5.40 on the paracord and a new wheel is around 30-50 that I've seen. I like the $5.40 better.

That is a labor of love if I ever saw one. How long did that take?

Ya time will tell how long it will hold up. It took me about 45min- 1hr to get it all done. I figure I can always replace the rope it it gets bad.

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.
