Supersteer axle for 782

[tweivoda]

My 1985 782 steers a little hard and doesn't turn very short like most of the tractors from that era. I would like to install the supersteer axle from the Cyclops tractor but would like to keep Ross steering box. I am not quite ready to install power steering.

Is there a Cub Cadet tie rod that attaches from the steering arm on the Ross Box to the steering arm on the left steering knuckle?

You would get all of the parts from the donor Cyclops. They used a manual Ross style box in them. The column was shortened for the tilt wheel.

The steering box/column from a 1989 Cub Cadet garden tractor is a different ratio, and are easier to turn than the older boxes.

My 782 turns like power steering since I mounted tri-ribs up front.

May not be an inexpensive option but tri ribs do work nice!

Did that for my 882 and never looked back.
Money well spent.

For you guys that went Tri-Rib, how do these tires fair, in the winter, when using a front blade, pushing snow ??

For me on my 125, they have been better in snow than the turf style tires, but not a total solution. I've pondered putting more weight on the front end to help even more.

Works real good with the plow lifted, but when you drop the plow, the front end goes where the plow dictates. If the plow is angled, heavy snow will push your front end sideways.

But I have plowed with larger vehicles and they all do the same thing to a greater or lesser extent. If it's a wet snow, it gets worse.
