Default Steering Wheel Alignment
Hello,

Does anyone know how to pull off the steering wheel or pull the steering shaft on a 782?

I have tinkered with the alignment and the only way to have full turning capabilities both left and right ends up placing the steering wheel about 90degrees off. It drives me nuts that the IH symbol on the steering wheel is rotated and i don't see how to pull the steering wheel to fix it. Someone must have had the steering wheel off on this tractor before i acquired it.

Is there a bolt down by the steering box which will allow the entire steering shaft to come out of the steering column allowing me to turn it?

Remove the cap, and then remove the nut that holds the steering wheel to the shaft. Get a 5/8" NF nut and bolt, thread the nut onto the steering shaft halfway, thread the bolt into it until snug, then hit the bolt head with a hammer while prying up on the steering wheel with your knees. It should pop right off. The steering shaft is splined, so just point the wheels straight and put the steering wheel back on how you want it. Put some never-seize on the spline and threads on the steering shaft before putting the wheel back on.

Talking re.
aaah,,,so the IH cover does come off. It is hard to describe in words but i was attempting to pry just beyond the IH symbol. According to what your link shows and by the looks of the steering wheel listed below, the entire cover comes off. I just need to pry in the right spot. I didn't want to pry too hard or in the wrong spot and damage my pretty wheel.

This should be easy. Thanks.

Just spin it by hand a bit and it'll work its way out. Either that, or pry on it with a putty knife to spread out the force. You don't want wreck the cap either...those IH-stamped ones are getting harder to find.

Removing the cap was a piece of cake once i pried in the right location. Don't know how i missed that the first time.

As for removing the wheel, the hammer method didn't seem to work for me. However, a gear puller worked like a charm.

spray a generous amount of PB blaster on the splines where the steering shaft and wheel connect. you may have to do that for a couple of days, but in the end it WILL come off with that method. but a word of warning though, when it starts getting loose, DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT put your face over the wheel, i pulled mine this past weekend and busted the bridge of my nose. i tried the two jaw and three jaw pullers i have and they wanted to damage the ridge on the bottom of my wheel. maybe i wasn't doing it right, but the bolt and nut method worked excellent for me. good luck!! jeff

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.
