Rebuild it. Not a bad job and cheapest priced kit is available from Messick's. Get the column/box spotlessly clean, mark the orientation of the segments of the box and carefully tear it down. No big secrets or special tooling. Just take note of the placement of all the small parts as you diss-assemble it. I've done two and it's about a one hour job once it's clean and on the bench.

I'm trying to track down a leak from my ps box that just appeared, not sure if it's the same as a 2182 or not, but here was a link to someone replacing the seals on a similar unit that may tell you what your getting into. http://www.mytractorforum.com/12-joh...sion-pics.html

Most likely age related. Using the lift should have no effect on the steering although they are both fed from the hydro pump. It does take a little more hydraulic force to turn the wheels with the weight of the plow, but that isn't usually the cause for a leak. Take note as to exactly where the leak is. Wash column and valve (box at bottom of column) down as clean as possible then run it a little, steering both full right and full left. Look for signs of fresh oil and determine the source. It could be leaking at a line fitting and would be a simple fix without need to remove and rebuild the valve. Note that the fittings screwed in the bottom of the steering valve have o rings on them and the jam nuts must be tight. If the column is leaking oil up under the steering joint as Rescue11's is or between the segments of the valve, then a rebuild is needed.

Yeah, the entire bottom and up the sides is coated with oil, so it's not a fitting. It's coming from somewhere close to the top of the unit where the steering wheel is. I don't see it coming our of the tube, but out of the stack of plates, just really up high towards the top piece.

Sounds like the upper shaft seal. Time for a rebuild.

Spoke with Jmech shortly after posting. Basically had me convinced to rebuild the column, and rebuild it myself before I checked back here. Thank you for the information Diesel Doctor. I purchased the seal kit from Messicks as you suggested.
Wasn't planning on this, yet have been dreading the day this would come. However, I am slowly getting anxious to do the re-build. If it gets screwed up it looks like I already have a buyer Keith and I tore the sad clown down and removed the steering orbital. Like others have done I'll probably post pix of the tear down.

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.
