882 axle upgrade

[dieselsmoke]

Could someone list a few model numbers that would be a good swap to a super steer front axle? My 882 is in need of much tighter steering. Thanks

I'd look for an axle out of a 1440, 1641, 1863 or an 1864. The 1864 had power steering but I think the drag link will bolt up where PS cylinder did.

I used a 1440 axle on the 1210 I used to own. Bolt in swap.

Ok, thanks for the reply, I will keep my eyes open for one

I am pretty sure that the Super front axle is narrower across the top. (looking down at it from above). If I remember correctly they are one quarter inch narrower than a standard Cub axle. So you would have to make up that difference to use one.

How about if you look at it from the bottom, up!!??

Well, as my wife would say, "right as usual", to which I say "its all a matter of perspective".

Now I wonder if the later cubs have a wider axle or if my brain has finally died.

What axle is that one? I dont recognize that tie rod setup with the pivot in the middle.

It is from a Super, being red I'd guess a 982

Yup, it's from a manual steering 982, I kind of like the design on them because it puts little stress on the pivot pin in the axle when steering unlike spindle mounted drag link setups.
