Improving the steering on my 782
As the title says I happen to have a front axel from a 1535 and also the steering column. Would any of you guys know if the 782 steering would improve by swapping any of these parts.

The steering column will not work without great modification, as the Cyclops used a very short tube with the tilt steering. The front axle should be the super steer, which will raise the front end a couple of inches. I would use one of those Ross steering improvement kits along with a steering box from a 1989 model year Cub on your 782. They changed the ratio and they steer easier than the earlier 82 series boxes. Just the improvement kit alone with a properly adjusted and greased box will do wonders.

I have (3) 782's and I do not consider any of them a "hard steering" tractor. Now one of them needs some lubrication and some TLC, but the other two are just fine. Mind you, nothing like Power Steering, but easy to drive and handle.

I put a set of tri-ribs on my 782 and it steers like power steering. Front tires have a lot to say about how easy or difficult the steering turns.

I only brought this Idea up because of a past post that Sam has put up about a 1210 that he converted to 1641 front axle and I believe he used the steering box from the same tractor, and I already had all the parts, It wouldn't be hard for me to do.

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.
