1250 Cub Cadet, steering quit.
Yeah, I was mowing along and the steering just up and quit. Before this, steering was sweet and smooth. We are talking like 5 seconds, left to right, right to left, no steering.
I shut it down and looked underneath, while turning the steering wheel. I saw a triangle shape with a large radius moving back and forth. The hole at the end should have some kind of bolt in it I figure... I will post a photo and "after the photo", a brief history of my 1250 cub cadet knowledge.  O.K., I am a cub cadet year 1979 newbie. Serial #2050630u-656667 I'm 47 years old and have had only lawn tractors since the year 2002. This old tech is new to me, but I like it. I got the 1250 a month ago and replaced the belts on the deck and the mule pulley. This is my second time mowing with it. The carb is bad and many other problems, but those will be subjects of other threads. thank you in advance.

Maybe that round rod laying just to the left of the triangle thing in the picture will have some kind of a bolt or something attached to it...

I like the art and the age of it. Built strong and good. I admire the time and age of it. I plan to learn everything I can about it and make it a sweet ride.

I'm looking at this for the first time. You are saying the I need to get the nut on the rod in the picture? I get that part, but I'm not seeing where the rod is. I'm mechanically inclined a WEE bit, when I see and understand the mechanics of something, yet I don't get this. I don't understand where the drag link is. I will get on it tomorrow and see if I can work it out and find the rod that meets up with the triangle thingy. I'm a little lost here. thank you in advance.

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.
