I will check out the toe in for sure. It is a distinct difference from the old
steering box to this one and I did not mess with the front end at all. I also have quite a bit of movement side to side in the shaft that I didn't have before I worked on it. Will double check my connections to make sure I didn't miss something. Should a person be able to turn the steering wheel with no pressure on it with the tractor off? I will explore today, thanks guys. Ken |

The steering wheel should turn the front wheels, but with great difficulty, to put it mildly, with the engine off
If one turns the steering wheel with the engine off there is a slight slippage if you hold a constant turning pressure on the steering wheel, but it is slight. it might take several minutes to go from say 12 O clock, to 2 O clock. This is also true when turning to full lock with the engine running. it is almost impossible to steer a tractor sitting still, with the engine off. If you took the power steering "pump" as the steering unit is called, apart to replace the seals/"O" rings, it is possible it is not reassembled right. They are not rocket science, but not exactly a walk in the park either. |

What I remember from before I took the pump off is exactly what you are
describing as in difficulty to turn steering wheel with engine off. Now I can make several turns of the steering wheel before it even starts to engage the front wheels. With engine off. It even seems to take a bit for the whole system to engage with engine running. Maybe some air in there. I never took the pump apart. It is a secondhand pump and power steering cylinder. I simply took the pump and cylinder I had originally and replaced them with the used ones. My original ones both leaked like a faucet that was on. Fortunately I have no leaks at all. One that end of the tractor at least. Thanks for help. Ken |

Check your line placement on the "pump", you could have gotten a line on the wrong port, they are marked as you prolly noticed.

Everything is right on the placement. I labeled everything when I took it
off and triple checked going back on. I will look again though, strange things happen sometimes. Ken |

It's not a pump, but rather a metering valve and a gerolor motor. If someone had it apart there is plenty of opportunity to put it together wrong. Some had to be "timed" on the rotors, others not. Some had a couple of check balls in the body and some had very small check balls in the rotor. Missing any of these details will prevent the steering valve from working.

He might be better to have his "pump" resealed would be my move. |

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.
