Default Wondering about 3 turn steering
Hi, I was wondering what cub models held the 3 turn steering boxes. I read that you can put them in 149 or similar models. Is that true?
Thanks

1811 and similar models had the 3 turn box, yes it will fit in your 149.

I wanna say the arm travel between a 2-turn & 3-turn steering box is the same. The real benefit comes from less force needed by you to turn the steering wheel.

Many guys have said it's like having power steering. Man, that would be awesome.

I have two 100's with a 3 turn in them, replaced at the dealership, it does take less effort.
I will see if the travel is different from the two and post pics later.
I am curious also...

Yes thank you, I have a super steer axle all ready to go, new drilled and tapped zerks, new rod ends and was wondering if travel was the same...Now that I think of it the wheel does sit higher on my 1250 vs my 169...That was made mostly of junkyard parts too, I'll have to see if it's a 3 turn.....Both turn with one finger but I have ribs on them and like to add more camber...

Thanks for the answers guys!!!

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.
