Cub Cadet 1872 power steering woes
I just finished a reseal of most of the hydraulic components on my 1872. I resealed the trans, pump, and steering column. I put it all together last night. I had a few small seeps from some fittings that just needed a little tightening. It does not seem to be leaking anymore. One thing that is odd though, is that the steering is rather stiff compared to before. I double checked the connections on the column and they appear to be correct according to the hydraulic schematic in the manual. Is it possible that I torqued the column to much? I did torque it to 20ft-lbs (middle of the recommended range). I assume the springs wouldn't cause this problem? They certainly were a PITA to get back in. I had to enlist the help of the wife
 . Looking for some ideas of things to check before I pull the column to make sure its together correctly. Would rather not have to pull it if I don't have to. Thanks.

IMHO, It sounds like something is binding. Maybe some PS experts will chime in soon.

that is what i'm afraid of. It should have resistance when the tractor is off tho as it moves the wheels. Or were you asking before it was hooked up. It almost feels like its not pushing enough. Anyone know of someone that rebuilds these columns? might have to go that route if I cant get this squared away.

Did you pay careful attention to the valve plates and reinstall them correctly, just like you removed them?
Are the springs installed correctly? and you didn't "mash"(crush) them Did you scribe the stack plates and reinstall them as removed? There are good video's as well as explicit instructions in the repair manual. nothing to be ashamed of if you made a mistake. There are a lot of "repair" shops that will not even attempt a rebuild of them.

Plates were scribed before taking the column apart. And in the correct direction as i took everything apart and layed them out all in the correct direction. The springs i am worried about as those did fight me. But with the help of the wife i was able to hold them in as the plate was slid on to encase them. I will need to look at the instructions again to double check orientenation. Do you know of any good videos to watch? I have not found many in my searches.

Poked around the tractor last night. I have a JD 318 column on the shelf. It spins pretty freely. As opposed to the one in my 1872 has a fair bit of resistance and feels crunchy almost. Looks like its coming out again. Going to give it another go. If i can not figure it out. Going to try to find someone to rebuild it.

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.
