125 steering question
Looking for your help again. My newly aquired 125's steering is way sloppy, how does one go about tightening it up? At this time I can almost make half a turn, any suggestions?
Thanks

Time for a complete rebuild: new bearings and races, cam follower, seal, and upper column bearing. I have enough pictures to make a how-to for steering box rebuilds. Perhaps I should put that together...

My 125 is pretty sloppy too. I think I will start with replacing the ball joints. I think most of my slop is in the ball joints, not the column. It looks like an easier project than the column rebuild too. I see all four ball joints for under $20 on Ebay all the time. If that isn't enough I'll do the column.

Better than the OEM ball joints would be to go to McMaster-Carr's website and look for heim joints of the same size. They're only like $6 or so each, and you will never wear them out. I have them on everything I own.

Thanks you. I don't think I would have been able to figure out how to find them. I guess I will spend the extra few bucks.

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.
