Default Power steering rebuild

The steering box on this 1772 was pushing oil out of the top near the wheel so says the previous owner so I figured it needed rebuilt(re-gasketed).

I pulled the engine and drive shaft, this one is getting the "MacDrive Shaft" conversion, thanks Sam.

I pulled the rear cover last week and drained all the Hytran and crap out of it so the rear is dry at this time so I layed her on her side to ease the removal of the column

Got the steering column out and put it in the vice to bust it apart.

I took lots of pics to make sure it all goes back together like it came apart. Here is what they look like inside. This is the first plate removed.

2nd plate...watch out, those springs will shoot out.

This is the valve plate.

This is called the valve ring. It is matched to the plate.

More springs.

Some plates are held together and are not to come apart like this one.

Good job! Make sure you mark the valve rotor to the center shaft, or to the outside housing. It does make a difference when you go back together!


VERY clean garage BTW!!!

This is called the metering package. It will not be torn apart here because it works fine. This is covered in the book and it will need to be shimmed when reinstalled if it is disassembled. The brown ring near the center is the commutator seal and it will be replaced with a new one that is in the kit.

Next is the thrust bearing spacer and bearing.

Here is the other seal and spacer that gets replaced.

All that is left is the retaining ring, plate and washer. Once that is removed the shaft will come out of the tube.

I didn't take many pics on the reassembly. I cleaned everything good used some grease and oil and I think I'm okay now. I hope.

J-Mech, I think I got it right. I read that in the manual and had to look at some of my pics. I guess we will see in a week or two. Thanks.

Allen, if this works we need to do yours next.

Let us know how it works!

When I was a "newbie" mechanic, I worked for Case IH. One of the dealers was a CC dealer too. Well, low man on the totem pole usually got the mowers. First super with PS that I had to rebuild, I didn't mark them....... Shoot I am still trying to forget how many times I had to take it back apart. I think it was 5 before I got it right. Good news was, it didn't leak anymore!!

Needles to say, I never forgot that lesson......

Great job Todd

While you have it that far apart I'd replace the seals in the rear and slap a brace on it then it will be good for about 20 more years and you won't bust the aluminum rear end. My 2182 is getting a brace today.

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.
