1650 Steering Column
My hydraulic valve mounts to a plate that is mounted to the steering column. I noticed when I move my lift lever, the outer sleeve on the steering column moves up and down, quite a bit, before it engages the valve, Is this normal or is there a way to make it more solid?
Thanks |

Hmm... I think your steering wheel is loose... Remove it. If you don't know how, let me know, I'll write up how to do it easy. Grab the tube, push it all the way down, lightly, with a hammer, then replace the steering wheel. Check for space between the wheel and the bushing. I had to put a washer in mine. Retighten steering wheel. It should help.

Yes, that's probably the problem. Bolt the wheel back on real quick... It should stop moving up and down on you

Lmercer:
The outer tube on the Steering Column has become loose from the lower gear housing. Generally speaking, when this happens, steering column replacement is needed.

I don't think you need to replace it...just pull the column, and expand the bottom of the tube ever so slightly with a muffler pipe expander and put it back in.

Matt G.: Thanks I'll give that a shot.
R Bedell: I was afraid of that. I'm going to try Matt's idea and start looking for another one. Thanks Lyle |

This might be about the only reason I could ever find to use a good epoxy on a tractor.
The stress you're putting on it by the lift valve is the only stress it will receive. Scott |

Another trick if you expand it a little too much: Put the tube in the freezer and heat up the aluminum case with a lightbulb. The two pieces should then slide together easily, and you'll have a nice press fit again when the assembly returns to room temperature.

I read a while back where somebody pulled the tube, reversed it and reinstalled it top-side down, tapping it into place. That way a fresh end goes into the housing with a tight fit. The only down side to that fix is that now the steering shaft bushing fits a hair tight at the top.

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.
