Poor Steering...Sloppy, loose, etc.
Hi All! I have been mowing with my 782 for years. I now have had enough of the fact that it steers sharp to the left and not so sharp to the right, it does actually turn to the right all the way if I grab the tire and move it. After some deep inspection, i have found: 4 very poor ball joints, there is a delay in the reaction of the steering related to the motion of the steering wheel, and the steering box has a rocking/twisting motion like something inside is worn.
So, what do you all recommend? I have just finished watching some you tube videos and have learned quite a bit. Should I go to a dealer for parts? Are there better aftermarket options? Are there updates instead of fixes. I don't much except that I love to mow with the 782! Thanks in advance!

Rebuild the steering box. Look at this for tie rod ends.

First welcome to OCC. Jack the front end up and grease all the grease points. Work it back and fourth. Double check all ball joint nuts are tight. Double check the axle pivot. If you have bad ball joints they are easy enough to replace. I don't get what the rocking motion is in the steering box. Unless you mean moving the steering wheel before the tires move. Make sure the two bolts holding the steering box are tight. Just taking the steering box apart and cleaning up 30+ year old grease does wonders. IF you need to rebuild the steering box they are easy. Do a search here and learn from everybody .

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.
