Two hours is local! Got to drive to get what you want, so far this year I’ve gone 4 1/2 one way for an attachment, then couple weeks later 5 hrs and going Saturday 5 hrs south to pick up a gem. 149 coming along nicely, good job

I'm with you Rmowl. It was worth the drive, if for no other reason to meet a great guy and get to look at his tractors. I am enjoying trying to get this thing put together. Thanks!

Rebuilt the steering box today. Pretty easy task and not too expensive. Added the upgrade kit, new cam follower, foam gasket and a lot of grease. Glad I did it.

Thanks twoton. Looking for some nice weather so I can get the painting done. I have to do it outside, so I need 50+ degree days. Not going to see them for a while unfortunately.

Wagonmaster, The kit consists of (2) precision steel shims , a thrust bearing & a Nylon locknut. The second washer is included just in case your old existing one is worn out. Fits 70 thru 782 Ross Steering Columns and others with 5/8" bolts

It is available here: https://www.ccspecialties.org/fuel_tuneup_maint.html for $14 plus shipping.

Everything I've read says it makes a difference in ease of steering I can't say yet as my tractor is still in a lot of little pieces.

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.
