Default 1450 Steering wheel issue...

I've got a 1450 and the steering wheel has suddenly come loose. Steering still works, but there is a lot of movement in the wheel itself. I don't recall anything specific causing this. Any advice on what needs to be done to get it right again?

Thanks,

Calvin

Top bushing came out of the tube. You can either take the column apart, and install a new bushing, or take a couple flat tip screw drivers, and put it back into place. Once back in place, dimple the tube, to hold it.

Or pull off the steering wheel, and replace the bushing with a front wheel bearing 3/4" inside by 1 3/8" (think that is the outside measurement), basically a wheel bearing for any cub that useds 3/4" spindles. There is supposed to be a foam washer under the steering wheel that basically keeps the bushing in place, I got one from CC Specialties for $3.00.

I agree. This that is the best thing to do. I've done it to both my 129, and 100 steering columns. Never did it to my 782 only because it hasn't had a problem yet. Once it does, I'll install a bearing in that too.

I had the very same thing happen to my 1450. In your picture, the part that is coming out of the bottom of he stearing wheel is the bushing. You can pry that back down to go into the tube. I did this with a flat head screwdriver. Once it is all the way down in to the tube and properly seated, look on the tube, you should see a small hole. At least, I did on mine. I then used a small screw to go through that hole in the tube, and hold the bushing in place. It has worked for me for 4 years now.

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.
