This is a perfectly timed thread. I have a spare steering unit in my garage that leaked like that, and I plan to rebuild it in the spring.

Well, I received my kit this week and attacked the orbital on Saturday. Would have been done in about 45 min, but I got cocky on the last segment going back together and the Jesus Springs ended up setting me back about 40 minutes. So all in all, after torquing the unit together, bout 1.5 hours total.

Decided to try it today after installing the lines last night. To my amazement, large streams of oil did not appear, and the steering wheel actually moved the wheels correctly. I'll check it out better after the whole tractor is pressure washed.

The thing operates really smooth and sounds better. It also doesn't make that strange noise when hitting the end stops.

Good work, Sir!

For everyone who has rebuilt a steering valve. Do you put new springs in or just the orings?

Good job! What kit did you end up getting? FYI, it helps to have an ice cold beverage while rebuilding those.

It's not as bad of a job as some think. Except for the springs you sailed right through it. Good work!

Thanks George! Happy ending...photo finish... It all feels good at the end

Yup, except... I had 3 o rings left over. But my valve ports only used 4 seals, it doesn't have a relief, so that for sure eliminates another. So the only thing left is the one remaining small o-ring...

Thanks Oak, and thank you for the guidance. I actually forgot to call Messicks so I was stuck with the $107.00 kit by the time I got the order confirmation. I actually had 6 beers, which is partially why I'm surprised it works

Thank you much! And thanks for guidance aswell! Hopefully the next one will go faster, but still not bad considering a new orbital is 600+

Good job finding the springs and your completion of the repair.
What is next?

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.
