1862 Steering
I have a new to me 1862 Cub Cadet. Noticed that it turns sharper to the left, less to the right. Did not know what to type in for a search. Maybe some one can tell me how to correct this problem or give me a link that explains how to correct it. Thanks for looking and have a great day.

My 169 was set up like that. I was curious as well, and after looking around on this site it seemed that the consensus was that they were set up that way for ease of maneuverability while mowing, as you're generally trying to get closer to obstacles on the left side of the machine. I set mine up closer to centered, to not have such poor turning the other way, but it didn't seem to make as much difference as I had hoped. I am intrigued by the 'Super-steer axle upgrade,' but haven't wanted to spend the money required.

I have done this a couple of times.
What I do is turn the steering all the way to one side, count the turns (usually 3) to go to the other side. Place the steering wheel at "mid point", then adjust the steering linkage(s) to get the wheels to run straight forward.

1862 steering
Thanks for the info Roland. Will try your method 1st as it seems the easiest.
Just about have this one ready to go to my friends small farm to see how it does. Hopefully it will do OK. My son in law has 2 more 1862's at his home in Maryland to bring home to me. I bought them and he picked them up for me. Guess I went from Cub fever to Cub crazy. Have a great day. Bob

1862 steering
Thanks to all that posted. The 1862 does have power steering but I think I got it sorted out. Started it up and turned the steering wheel to the left as far as it would go , then turned it to the right as far as it would go counting the turns . Turned 1 and one half turns. Turned the steering wheel back three quarter turns. Shut off tractor. Walked to front of tractor about 20 feet. Wheels were turned off to one side a little. Took bolt off front steering rod. Moved the wheels until they looked straight. Adjusted the steering rod until bolt would slide back in linkage. Tightened it up and i believe it took care of my problem.
Finsruskw, Just getting older and am trying to help pass the time. Thanks to all and have a great day. Bob

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.
