Just doin a little cleaning and sorting while waiting on block and parts and paint and...... ok question for someone... I took the steering gear box apart so I could clean it up. Gonna order new ball bearings and keepers, maybe side plate/ gasket. On the steering end of the shaft, looks like their should be a bearing? Am I correct? Austin parted everything up in bags, but didn't label the bags. I've caught myself a time or two saying why didn't you label this, then I hear his answer in my head... "why didn't you"? So..... anyway here's some pictures of the progress

I'm in to help when and where I can! Glad you decided on the model 102. They are a great garden tractor!!!
I'd like to suggest a 606 nice bearing in there? Maybe other more knowledgeable members can chime in on that claim. I'd also suggest, when you get that far, to check the front axle for any horizontal play between the frame's c-channel when turning left and right. Squeeze it together, then assemble. I have a nice wright up on the the detail, on my model 71, here at OCC. I'll be in the bleachers rooting you on! Take care, John

If you're talking about the steering wheel end there is a little plastic bushing. You can use an old (or new) wheel bearing instead.

Yes, there's a metal collar on the steering end. Looks like something should be there to keep the steering shaft centered in the sleeve. Or maybe the steering wheel does this?

Ok , I've got a few more questions. First back to the steering box. The thin plate on the side that has the lip on it, I'm assuming the lip goes into the housing, with the gasket between the bottom of the thin flange and the housing, right? Then the thick plate with the cam on it just rides on top of the thin flange? If I'm right so far, here's what I'm thinking, poor design!! Could I replace the gasket with a bead of aluminum silicone. This would last forever and keep the thin flange in place permanently. (And save $100). I got the thin piece flattened out really well but don't have the gasket. Now next question, I'm looking at the clutch and posted pics. I'm thinking new disc (discs) and throw out bearing? Can you tell from pics if I'm correct? I was trying to get the driveshaft off the differential and looks like pins thru the shaft holding it on, but dang I'm not having any luck at all pecking them out. Any advice would be appreciated

I believe this is the bushing your talking about.

The clutch disc is toast, might as well replace the disc and throw out bearing and have the pressure plates resurfaced. You will probably never have to do it again.

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.
