What I had heard was to have a muffler shop make a new pipe. The exhaust tubing is a little bit thicker than the original tube and allows you to use a bearing from your local hardware store for the top of the tube. I haven't tried it yet, but whenever I get around to rebuilding my 3 turn column, it's going to be my plan.

Looking for some more advice. I got my steering column apart and wonder if anybody has had any experience with ordering the replacement parts thru Cub. I'm heading to my Dad's tomorrow and he only lives a few miles from an IH dealer, where I have gotten parts before. In the below picture, they list #10 as the bearing and ball assembly. Does that include the ball retainer, which they list as #16? That is really what I need as the balls are loose in the one from the bottom of the column, and they seem to be ok. Any advise would be appreciated.

Yeah, you should be able to get everything you need from your Cub dealer... But if you go to the JD dealer and tell them you have a JD 110 you can get the same parts at a substantial savings.

Caution:
Please don't do that!!
You will be struck by lightning on a bright sunny day, and when the parts are installed, turning the steering wheel to the left, it will go right and tip you over into a non existing ditch in a perfectly level field!!
I know from experience, as it happens frequently to me,
tis a terrible thing!!

I bought all the parts from the IH dealer today, hopefully I'll live another day.

Has anybody replaced the tube (column) on their steering column? Mine is loose and I'm undecided to either use a muffler expander to make it bigger or it looks like 1 1/4" thin wall metal conduit might work. I have to take the steering box and the upper bearing to Menards with me to see if they will fit OK.

Wild Bill,

I had been seeing bearings on Ebay for replacing the bushing. This morning when I was at the IH dealer, I showed him a picture of the bearing and gave him the dimensions and that's what he came up with too

Would of been about half the price on Ebay, but then it wouldn't be 'original' would it? :biggrin2.gif:

Now to find a local version of the Nice 605 thrust bearing and I'm good!!

Thanks

Steering Column Update:

Instead of trying to expand my loose column, or 'burring' it up and locktiting it in, I felt like fabbing one up.

I was planning on upgrading the bushing at the top to a bearing, and an old 3/4" front wheel bearing was what was the closest thing. In the original column, it was too loose, but the bushing fit snug.

I looked at some 1 1/4" EMT metal conduit, which the bearing fit perfectly snug into, and almost was the perfect size out side.

It took quite a bit of polishing to get it smaller. I put the pipe in the freezer and heated the steering box a little with a torch and had a buddy help me and using a couple of boards and a BFH, we drove it home.

It took a while, but it is not coming out. I liked the way it came out:

You might have a hard time painting it. EMF is galvanized, and paint has a hard time sticking to galvanized metal. You might try an etching primer.

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.
