I was told by the knowledgeable guys on this site that the 1862 axle would give me a better turn radius to go along with the range of the PS ram. I did pick up a better turn radius after the conversion even though I had to go to the outer hole on the spindle arm. The inner hole gave me about what I had with the 1811 manual steering. One thing that I lost on my 1811 axle was that it had bushings for the spindles and the 1862 axle doesn't. There is a little play in the spindles now but there isn't much I can do about it. Also the spindle arm on my 1811 axle is much more lightly constructed than the one that came on the 1862 axle. Remember that when you are stopped and in deep dirt or a rut, PS will still turn the wheels. That is something that you could not do with manual steering because it would be so hard to turn the steering wheel that you would back up first to clear the blockage. That puts the little arm under a huge amount of stress that a manual arm does not experience. Something else I learned from guys here is that the steering wheel "Straight Ahead" spot will gradually migrate due to the type of PS we have. There is no actual connection between our steering wheel and the front wheels so the "Straight Ahead" setting on your steering wheel will move. I still have my turn knob on my wheel but it moves around as I use the tractor. It's still nice because you can grab it with either hand without having to concern yourself with where and how to grab the wheel.

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.
