Default 125 steering
I was out having fun with the 125 and a grader blade yesterday when the steering box locked up and won't turn left. I can't say I'm totally surprised. It had been giving me a bit of trouble and getting loose recently.
So, will be going back into the steering box after restoring everything a few years ago. I guess I should have replaced that top bearing when I had the chance. Live and learn, the longer I live the more I learn, just wish I would learn how to do it once.

My question for you guys is this, can I take the steering box out without removing the engine? I'm not looking forward to this.

Can't say for sure about the 125 I just removed the steering column from my 1450. Raised the front end and pulled it out the bottom, engine still in.

Why would you want to do that? It would be easier to work on with the column removed and that can be done without removing the engine. As bluesman mentioned, just remove the entire column and you will have easier access to it allowing for a smoother disassemble and reassemble of it. If it helps, I drive my cubs up on the back of my trailer or on ramps--chock the tires and remove the steering column. Sorry to hear that you had problems. Hope it's an easy fix!

Before you remove and go through those motions, did you check your rods to make sure that they aren't bent or catching?

Blues man is correct. Remove steering wheel, remove draglink, 2 bolts and drop it out the bottom.

Edit:guess 123 and I were typing at the same time

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.
