Default 102 Bent Steering Shaft

My newly acquired 102, appears to have a bent steering shaft, at the top, where the wheel sits. I'd wager to bet it was rolled tipped over at some point. I an in the process of pulling the steering wheel to assess it more. Has anyone ever encountered/fixed this short of finding a replacement part? I know I need to remove it from the assembly so I don't crack the aluminum parts.

Is it minor or severe?

To echo coop, let's see a pic. These aren't expensive if it's past repair.

Just bend it back. Or remove, heat and straighten.

It won't be easy to straighten that out. I'd just replace it. Too much work for such an easy part to get.

I agree with Jon. Steering column's are easily found and no matter how hard you try you probably won't get it perfectly straight.

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.
