2518 question about steering play/slop
I have a 2004 Cub cadet 2518 and the steering has quite a bit of play in it. When I turn the wheel there seems to be quite a bit of steering wheel movement before the pivot bar takes up slop and then steering starts to "work".
I was wondering if the amount of front/back play in the pivot bar is normal as seen here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6kVLBtLFuY https://www.ereplacementparts.com/cu...39_533942.html

While I am not familiar with your 2518, the amount of axle movement looks excessive. Can the axle be shimmed or bolts used to limit the front/back movement?

I too, am not familiar with the 2518 either.
From that video, NO that is not normal. As an educated guess, check to see if the Pivot Pin Nut is loose. If that is tight, then I am guessing of lack of Maintenance (no grease) has wallowed out the hole in the Axle (719-3095), as well, as the Pivot Pin (938-3110) being worn. I would suggest jacking the front end up, removing the axle, and do an inspection on the Pivot Hole and Pin for wear.

Thanks for looking.... It was missing the left side bolt that goes through the pivot bar, I am sure that can't help.
(Hex Bolt 3/8-16 X 2.75. Part Number: 910-3066). Center bolt looks ok. The right side bolt seems loose to me. Seems like when I get the new bolt in and snugged down it will be a lot better. Thanks!

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.
