Poor mans power steering for CC1541
I noticed intructions on line on how to install thrust bearings in the steering spindles on a Husqvarna tractor to make the steering easier to handle.....I tried the easy to install bearings and washers that cost around $6 for the pair it steered easier......I have yet to get the CC into the garage and see if its possible on that machine and am hoping that it is...The bearings and washers fit on a 3/4" spindle shaft....

A pair of tri-rib tires on front will make you think you have P/S!

I did the real PS switch on my 1541 5 years ago. Well worth the expense and effort if you use a snow thrower. It was very hard to turn the wheel when the blower was lifted off the ground and the tractor was not moving. PS is not much of an advantage while cutting the grass.
I was lucky and got most of the parts used when prices were not crazy like they are now.

1541 Poor Mans Power Steering
Thanks for sharing your experiences with steering options....When I get a chance I will get the beast in the garage to see what is involved and order the correct bearings....The tri rib tires is a good option but the key words are "poor mans".

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.
