Default 1863 Steering Issue

Over the winter while plowing the steering became difficult on my 1863. I was near the end of my driveway when I wasn't able to steer at all in one direction. I was able to limp it back to the garage and found the large bolt/nut combo in the steering box to be loose. I re-tightened it and it was fine until yesterday while mowing. Near the end, it became difficult to steer again. Found the same issue again. What is the appropriate long term fix for this issue?

Tear the Steering Box apart and rebuild it. See link.... Steering

If the nut is coming loose clean the threads with some brake clean and then use some loc-tite on it.

Thanks. I think I'll do some investigating by pulling it apart. Wasn't sure if there were any known components that needed replaced. Thought about some loc-tite but wasn't sure if it was that simple...

Don't know what it is about Cyclops but I've had several nuts come loose and one box even had the nut completely missing.

A stover nut should keep it from moving. No need for loctite.

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.
