The worm/stud is a lot less expensive and generally used where a light duty works without a problem. I believe Ross invented the recirc ball system and it has been improved and powered. Saginaw was considered the best for many years, but heavy Today most is rack/pinion and hyd power or electric. |

I don't know, and don't care to start a big "discussion" on cam followers, but on every tractor I brought home that needed steering attention, and that was most. I "dressed" the followers in the drill press with a grinder and rat tail file and haven't had a issue thereafter.
Back in my early years here on OCC, that was the norm you would read, was to "clean up" the cam follower to remedy the problem, and didn't hear of recurring issues... ![]() Worked for me, and many others I would guess. This is a first that one would go out that soon.

Rebuilt the steering last night and am sharing some pictures of the issue.
The first picture is of the cam follower right out of the housing and as I took it apart. You can see the follower in the picture is clearly damaged. I did find some nicks on the screw but nothing I though caused this. I did however for the sake of having it apart remove them. I did have one point on the lower end of the screw that looks factory but was an issue. I attached one pictures of that. I tried to remove it as best I could. Really I managed to get most of it out but there is still some left. I felt that that was fine and time would tell. My thought was this would only effect one point on the cam follower and it didn't rotate to cause cut it in any other fashion. By the way the picture was a before shot. I didn't take one of after. I did test the old and new cam follower with the file to see if there was any issue with hardness. The new one is harder that the old. I easily cut with file the tip on the old one. The new one not so much but it did file some. It would have taken much more work to do the damage the old one took. So time will tell if this rebuild is any better that the old. I also while I am here put on one of those steering upgrade kits that make it steer better. It's not in yet so hard to say if that works better than before. but for 14.00 dollars I'll give it a try. |

Well something's wrong that ain't right. Never saw follower worn down to nothing like that. There isn't anything left to "dress up"
![]() The plate, is it flopping around in the box? Do you have a new ring and gasket? Reason I ask is it looks like more grease outside of where the ring is than there should be...

Well here's the scoop. I had taken it apart when it first was an issue. There was grease on the outside of the housing before it took it apart. I found the cam follower bad so I just put it back together to work on later. The ring and gasket aren't new but they were fine. Covered with grease off the cam follower fingers and other places. So the amount of grease hadn't been cleaned up when I snapped the picture. It's not as bad as it looks with the grease. My mess so to speak. The cam follower looked that way last fall. However it was at least 15 years old as that's how long I had the tractor and used it for blowing snow all those years up till last. There wasn't any slop on the steering to speak of prior to last fall and again after I put the steering back together last fall and again the other day. I didn't get a chance to reinstall the steering back in the tractor but will likely tomorrow. See how that steering upgrade kit works. Got some mowing to get done and soon. I'l keep you posted on the cam follower this year and I'm in hopes this lasts a tad longer.

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.
