Just pulling your leg. I have no idea what that thingamajig should be called! Popper thing sounds as good as any!
It's not quite as descriptive as "the little poppet nubby thingy " that Lew calls it :-)

Oh. I thought I missed a post that got vaporized or something. It’s usually not a good thing to have slop in the hole of anything really.

Well, I started the disassembly. Getting the steering wheel off was fun, I had to use a combination of oxygenated fire, three jaw puller, a BFH, and PB Blaster to get it loose so I can take off the dash tower to get the tunnel cover off. To recap, the tunnel cover was cut into segments I guess to allow easy access to the creeper.
I’m on the fence about whether to keep the creeper or not. A full length driveshaft looks pretty affordable and I don’t really need a creeper for anything.

I'd keep the creeper for its cool factor, but that's just me.
I have an O on which I'm convinced the steering wheel is permanently fused to the column. Might I ask how you applied the red wrench ?

The creeper needs rebuilt. That’s all. If it was good to go I would keep it no doubt. I just don’t know if I want to put the time and money into something I don’t really need.
The trick that worked (I don’t know if my other attempts helped to loosen it) was to put a small bolt down the center of the steering shaft, and put the three jaw puller on with zip ties around it to hold it in place. Then tightened it up as tight as I could get it. I heated the steering wheel right at the shaft part and it popped loose. It scared me when it let go actually. If you have plastic down to the center of the steering wheel it might be harder. Mine didn’t. It’s all steel.

Nice work on getting that popped loose though. One of the hardest things to get off of these things it seems.

Is there a way to restore these? The one I took off is pretty much just the metal left, but I have another one that's in better shape, and only has some cracks. I think I saw somewhere someone used JB Weld to fill the cracks and then painted the steering wheel... or maybe that was a dream...

Steve you can restore a steering wheel, they make a plastic putty for that purpose, I don't remember the name but there are several you tubes that show the process. Here is a you tube that I think is pretty good.

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.
