Well I did a little trouble shooting on the power steering and I have come to the conclusion that the steering cylinder has bad seals in it. Has anyone repaired one of these cylinders before? I am not sure what end of the cylinder I should cut the welds on. I have already talked to the local Mitten fluid power guys and they can set me up with a seal kit if I can get it apart. Would like to hear if anyone has attempted this before and the outcome. Thanks in advance. Kelly

One of the Mittens is a good friend of mine. My guess is if your going to try to rebuild it you should put it in a lathe and remove the weld on the end the attaches to the frame. Then when you weld it back together the seals on the rod end won't get as much heat.

Sam Mac that was the plan. Just wanted to hear some opinions. A set of seals will cost peanuts compared to purchasing a new cylinder. Buying a used one is an option but you really don't know how well the internals are.

I looked up the price for the cylinder, they are proud of that to say the least. Wondered what the BXRS refers to?

Sam Mac I got the steering cylinder rebuilt at work today. There is no seals on the piston it is an o-ring. The o-ring was all galled up no wonder it didn't steer worth a darn. The o-ring is a size 182. That was an extremely simple project to do. It was all of a 45 minute job from start to finish. Can't wait till the morning to reinstall it. The bxrs is short for my dogs.

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.
