149 Steering Rubbing Skid Plate
On my 149 there is a bolt from the steering rubbing on the engine skid plate and the bottom of the steering box. The plate is bent, I don't know how if it was bent before this started rubbing or if it bent from these rubbing. I don't know if I am using the correct names for these parts. Any help would be appreciated.
These pictures aren't the best. I can get more specific pics tomorrow if needed.

When's the last time that steering gear has been cleaned up, serviced and/or greased?
Looks like it could use some housekeeping in that department Some of that rubbing may be due to loose and sloppy steering adjustment and rod ends in addition to the deformed part. How far does the steering wheel turn before the wheels move?

Another thing is when the tractor was together, the shaft would pull up. I don't really know how to explain it. I think the tube would come loose on the bottom, then when you push it down it would be ok for a few minutes and come loose again. I don't know if this could be from it not having the right steering wheel or something else.

If it were mine, I would remove the steering box, clean & inspect, repair as nessary.
The shaft is retained in a set of ball bearings and when set properly, it does not move up/down. It is much like a bicycle front fork. There are many posts on this site describing the procedure. As far as the outer tube, it needs to be tight in the aluminum casting. there are various fixes to accomplish this. One of the easiest is to install it up side down, after cleaning, and removing the plastic bushing from the top. You will prolly need to replace the balls/races unless they are in good shape. Also the worm follower that always has the pointed end worn, either replaced or reshaped. Finishing, it has to have lube and adjusted properly. I'm sure someone will post some links here, as I don't remember off the top of my head, and I'm sure it is described in the service manual

Ok, I might be getting a parts tractor for this. I will wait and see how the parts are on that and maybe switch them to this one. Thanks for the help.

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.
