Default Power steering parts interchangeable Super 2182

Any help with what other models have same power steering components as the 2182?

Thanks,

I'm thinking that any cyclops SGT would probably have the same parts as your 2182.

What's wrong with yours?

When I steer my new to me 2182 it wanders left right slightly and the steering wheel loses it position in relation to front wheel position. Seems like the steering box is leaking by internally. Any one experience this?

I have had four or five 2182's. typically to scavenge parts and upgrade my "Keeper" which I have had since effectively new. they are all wanderers and the steering wheels are never centered. its a true hydraulic steering not a power assist like a car. "center" is a bit more of a hypothetical position. adding to the problem the cylinder is not balanced - the area of the piston and volume of the cylinder is bigger on the backside then on the side with the ram. you can help things out by checking your linkages - they are most likely worn out. and then put some positive toe on it (toe in) like 1/4 inch

I can confirm, they ALL wander. I find it kind of annoying myself. The wander can be amplified by having worn tie rod ends, or a worn axle pivot. If there's play there in any of those areas, that can allow things to move around more than they should too. On my 1872 I replaced the tie rods and everything is snug in the linkages but it still wanders some. It makes it harder to stripe a yard

The cyclops tractors all used the same power steering parts. The only difference is the frame bracket that holds the cylinder at the frame, for the GT and SGT.

The statement about hydraulic steering on CC's and not power assisted steering
is why the steering wheel doesn't always center in the same position as noted above.

I have half a dozen or more CC's and Supers with the hydraulic steering. Some wandered, some didn't. I found that taking the play out of the front axle with the stop bolts, playing with the toe-in, matching front tire tread and air pressure will go a long way to make them track straight. Pavement or grass. As far a toe in, I'd recommend as little as possible positive toe in. Too much and they will run all over the place.

The manual steering Cyclops will wander to some degree.

I think it wanders because Cyclops has only one eye.

Does that affect peripheral vision?

I wander a little and that’s with two eyes 😂 Great thanks to everyone for the info. Don’t have to rebuild the steering box, less is more. I do have some play in the axle pivot. I noticed the adjustment bolts for the axle but not sure how much play is too much and how to adjust the bolts correctly. They squeak when they rub the axle, slightly annoying.

Mike could be right about the toe - I have not adjusted it in many years, Mine is used for snow blowing only so it never really goes on the street unless there is quite a bit of snow. I have not mowed with it in ten plus years.

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.
