Default Thinking Of Converting The 1872 To Non Power Steering
Guys, I'm thinking about getting rid of the power steering on my 1872 and make it like the 982. My 782 steers fine and I feel that the 1872 will also. Plus, I'll have no more pesky leaks to worry about. I've heard that I'll need to find a 982 steering column and front axle. What else would be needed? I feel that I'm better off getting rid of the power steering.

Ceicil, isn't that like getting rid of your Johnson to keep from getting an STD? I added PS to my 1811 and cannot imagine going back to Popeye arms again. If you really want to do this I am sure there are a whole bunch of guys who are waiting to offer your their manual steering system in an exchange. I put mine in last year and have not had a leak since. Maybe you have some hose problems that could be solved for just a few hours work and a few dollars.

Allen,
Don't get rid of your power steering. You will be sorry you did.

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.
