How to add power steering
I'm sorry to put this thread up again but I can't find my original question that I posted last night under someone else's thread. I have the three turn steering and it is very easy when loosened but with too much slop and very hard to turn when tightened but no slop. The middle of the two leaves me with a moderate hard to steer tractor with still a bit of slop. I was wondering if it is feasable and is it worth it to convert to ps. I believe the 1811's are the same class as the '82 series. Have any of you done this conversion? Was it worth it? Thanks.

I've heard of some putting power steerting from a super on the regular gts but you would have to do some modifications. If your steering is hard to steer with little to no slop then something is wrong.

Have you rebuilt your steering gear box and added the super steering upgrade and steering shaft bearing? If not I suggest you do this first then decide if you need power steering. I can turn my 784 with just the palm of my hand and it is very smooth.

steering box upgrade
I did put in the up grade and it helped some but I'm afraid it might be the steering worm gear that's worn out. I might try to loosen up the bottom ;screw that closes up the steering box and see if I got it too tight. Although when the side screw is loosened it is very easy to trun but too sloppy to drive. If I could find an x82 ps system would it be a bolt on or would I have to fabricate a lot of parts? Does the ps system use the tranny pump and fluid to run it? Any advice would be great.

I'd second the notion that something else is wrong with your steering. My 882 turns easily when sitting still (although I don't do that much at all) and effortlessly when moving.

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.
