Default Original - Steering Wheel Restore?
My 62 O Steering wheel is in good shape without any bends. The rubber grip is faded cracked and chipped and looks really bad. Is there a good way or re-gripping it without having to buy a new wheel?

I'm thinking about straightening mine, blasting the grip off, and replacing it with spray-on bed liner or something like that... Might be worth a try...

I did mine with bedliner out of a spray can. I gave it lots of coats and it came out nice and feals good.

I can have one tomorrow. I thought about dipping the whole wheel in plastic dip, giving it a few coats, and them cutting it off the spokes and hub. It would be hard to get perfect though. I hate to pay something crazy for a new one when the one I have is only cosmetically flawed, I also need a pan seat. The PO welded a crappy seat on it and ruined the spring as well. I can't believe what a pan seat costs. The only one I've found so far was $200 That seems a big much to me. I could have bought a nice one for what I'm going to have in this one. I'm doing it right though, every wear prone part is being replaced. Not cutting any corners.

I meant for JK777 to post a pic so you could see how his turned out and see if that's the way you want to go.

I've thought about the plasti dip stuff if I could rig something up to only let the outside of the wheel go in. Just do multiple coats. I wonder how it will hold up though

How many coats is "lots of coats" approximately?

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.
