Lost steering on a 1641
Was mowing today with my 1641 I inherited from my father-in-law. The steering [not power] has always been a little sloppy but today it just stopped-wheel turns but nothing. Steering arm and tie rods connected so I am guessing the problem lies in the steering box. Is this a complicated fix? This model has the adjustable steering wheel and hydraulic controls for the deck. Do they complicate things? Also is there a rebuild kit available? The You Tube videos of the box seem simple enough but I need guidance on the preliminaries. Help. Please.

Sounds like it wore the cam follower off completely. Probably easier to find a good used and replace it. That is unless you are a good welder and own equipment to do such tasks.
Getting the column out is more of a pain in the arse than it is complicated.

Does the steering wheel turn and then stop or does it spin round and round and round and...
You get the picture. Let us know.

May have stripped out the splines on the CV upper part of the steering where it tilts. All speculation of course. Let us know what you find

The wheel turns but does stop. It does go from lock to lock but only moves the tires a little bit at the end when turning left. How involved is it to pull the shaft with an angling adjusting steering wheel?

More than likely the nut that holds the drag link to the steering column arm is missing, or the ball joint connection has failed, no need to remove the column yet.
Shootus some pics

I removed deck and cover plate and found the pitman arm was loose-moving about an inch laterally, I fiddled to get the spacer back in place, centered the wheel and tightened the large nut on the opposite side and turned the cam follower back until tight. It works but I want a more durable fix--there are no jam nuts holding anything tight. I would like to drop the shaft and fix it but I do not have a manual to do things like remove engine cover and disconnect from flex joint as suggested above. Suggestions?

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.
