that little thrust bearing takes out friction in your steering system. have not personally used one but heard it does help reduce steering effort

Think of them as a little "Lazy Susan".

I normally put one in, when I rebuild a column. IMHO anytime you can reduce friction or drag in the steering system, there will ultimately be less wear.

I put one on my 782D when I rebuilt the steering a couple years ago. Since I had to replace stuff, I went with the bearing setup. To be honest, I don't really notice too much of a difference. Now when I hop on a Super, I notice the difference...........

Under edit, I agree with Yosemite. Works like the Lazy Susan concept and does reduce wear/tear. If you have to rebuild, couldn't hurt to put this setup in. Not really breaking the bank pricewise.

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.
