XT3 - Power Steering Problem
Good evening.
I am new to the forum, but been on a few for other things. I have a XT3 Cub that was given to me in a house purchase deal and absolutely love it. It came with a 42 3 stage blower setup from the previous owner special ordered that way. I used it few times this fall driving around, but recently I went out to blow and the Power steering is not working. The battery is good and all else works except that. So....What should I start with first, that one of you guys can direct me to trouble shoot. Has anyone had a problem that I should be aware? Man the machine turns on a dime with it active but when its not its a bullll.... Sorry for story time but help me out so I can get going. Also 75hrs 3 or 2 years old. Thanks Everyone |

First off, you posted in the engine section, hopefully a moderator will move this to the correct section so you will get better views.
Second, is this still under warranty by chance? I'd call my dealer first thing in the morning. if nothing else maybe they have heard of the problem and can point you in the right direction. There are a few folks here running newer machines. Unfortunately most of us are tinkering on the machines that are in excess of 20 years old. Only reason I point that out is the knowledge base on the newer equipment is not near as vast as what it is on the old stuff. Not knocking your newer machine, think there were a couple guys that bought the same one this past summer. So assuming your machine is not under warranty, tell us a little more. Is the steering electric? If so start chasing power with a test light/meter. May be as simple as a blown fuse or broken wire.

There are many vintages of the xt3 but I think most have the electronic power steering. Problem could be as simple as a blown fuse. I would start by looking at yours owners manual if you have one or download one and see if it calls out a fuse for the EPS.

Just curious as to what you found with the eps and also if a dealer honored any wty. since you are not the original owner. As a rule of thumb Cub wty. is not transferable to a 2nd party but you may get lucky.

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.
