I rebuilt the one in a 318 following the photos on the site posted on TBN and WFM sites... Went together easy enough if you take your time and make sure everything is CLEAN!

After a bit of practice, you learn how to load them ever so carefully, and put it together.
Yes, yes you do.

When the new springs get here, I'm going to drape a small curtain around the area of my work bench where I will attempt to assemble the beast again. If the springs should launch again I'll catch them. First go round I had a ton of stuff on the rest of the work bench and the spring must have hit and rebounded in to no mans land. I looked for over an hour without any luck. It's actually a pretty simple valve, some of the larger ones I've done on loaders are a bit more fussy.

Well I finally got the springs to stay in place and assembled the steering box. I put the column back in the 2072 and decided to give it a good test. As soon as I found it leak free, I hooked the tractor to my box blade and worked the tractor for two hours continuously grading part of my driveway. The steering worked perfectly and the entire column is dry as a bone.

When you say Steiner, do you mean Steiner the equipment manufacturer? Or do you mean Steiner Tractor Parts?

The manufacturer J. I'm not sure it's the same but it is only $56. Looks like a Parker #.

Yep, that's the kit I used, purchased thru Messick's. It fit perfectly. For an additional $11 I would strongly recommend that you purchase the springs (kit) for the valve plate too. The little buggers have a habit of launching themselves into never found again land.

I know its an old thread. but do you happen to have the spring kit part number from messicks? just picked up an 1872 that rumored to leak every once in awhile. judging by the amount of dirt build up under it I have no question that its leaking.

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.
