Steering Rebuild
I decided after new tires and front wheel bearings, it's time to check out the steering box. I took it all apart and cleaned everything up, but only found 1 bearing set. I looked in the manual, it's supposed to have 2. Another project.......

No, I pulled it completely apart. I also had about about 3/8" of vertical steering shaft travel.

I'm going tomorrow to a bearing supply house locally to see if they have the NICE 605, hard washer, and possibly an alternative to the thrust ball cup setup on either end of the worm shaft. I think I can re-machine the shaft and housing to accept off-the-shelf bearings. I know I can buy a rebuild kit to keep it stock, but what fun is that...

Got it all put back together. Works much better! Of course, now I need to replace the ball joints to get the last major play out. Made a few modifications for readily available parts. Went to a heavy duty ball bearing on the bottom end. I kept it stock on the top bearing. I am going to try a thrust roller washer type bearing and races under the double nuts. It was much cheaper. I might turn down a grease cover for it. Enjoy...

Now that's the way to turn down a cam follower. Man I forgot that you had made some of the one off parts before like the steering wheel cap and stuff, very cool, great job as usual

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.
