Default 1864 steering arm
How to get the steering arm off the top of the left spindle? Looks like a captive bolt on top and a pinch bolt coming in from the side and the arm just slides down on splines.

Does the steering arm come off just by tapping it with a hammer or did I miss something?

Pull the pinch bolt and the bolt on top and spread it just a bit at the slot, go easy. Then a little power blaster and a few taps and it should come off

Okay, thanks. That's what I thought. I moved it a little but it was moving pretty hard.

Is this arm keyed to the spindle or do you just have to guess at it when it goes back on?

Pretty simple really. I have a rusty, beat up good running 1864. Implement lift would not raise as described in a previous post. Seems like the trouble is in the steering box and maybe check valve causing this? Not in the mood to tackle the steering box at the moment. Plastic on the front end is shot. But,I don't like chipping rust.

I bought a 1864 chassis that had a good PS gear and hydro in it. Bought a nice, rust free, clean 1641 with a blown 16 Vanguard. Good plastic.

It's all changed over to make the 1641 into a nice 1864 except for the steering arm and transferring the 1864 engine in place.

I have five 1641's, one 1860, one 1862, one 1864, one 2084, a whole garage full of other wide/narrow frame cubs. Don't have enough good plastic to cover all the cyclops I have.

I didn't know just how good the 1864 with the 54" mower was until I got one. So, I want to make the one I have my new sweetheart.

I always wanted a Super Cub. Got one this summer but even though it rides great, cuts great, it's not the best, most manueverable tractor for me.

PS. I will sell a bunch of the old nf/wf Cubs if anyone wants to make a volume buy and don't want to ship and don't try to steal them.

Anymore questions?

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.
