I tried the tap and go and the air hammer method on my 1282 a few years back. I let it soak with PB Blaster for over a week and then had 6 teenaged boys pulling up on it while I tapped on it. This thing was NOT coming off. That’s when I bought this Snap-On Puller. I threaded the steering wheel nut flush with the top of the shaft so as not to damage the treads and after a few tight turns, it popped with no damage. I used the pop and go on my neighbors 100 and it worked. I also coat the shaft with Never-Seize before replacing the steering wheel.

Sorry about that, I'm cheap so the puller with a piece of 2x4 oak did the trick. It still took a little effort but patience paid off. I'll try to get some pics uploaded when the resto is completed.

I just bought a new wheel off eBay in case I busted my in removal. Some good ideas here - thnx. I think I will try the puller. Hammering on the steering column worries me. My C.C. is a relic after all.

OK, got the steering wheel off the 1650 and tore the assy apart and noticed the bearings and race were in pretty bad shape. I'm having trouble finding a rebuild kit for the ross steering box, does any one have a good source for a kit?

All in all the resto is moving along pretty good. When I'm finished with this one, it's on to the 105!

Thanks for the info. I did try the sponsers but no luck. Did a little more digging and discovered a CC dealer not too far from the house. Called them up and found out they have exactly what I need. Thanks again!

Unhappy
The rebuild was a success! We're back to one handed stearing now. A note on the sad side though: Will rebuilting the steering, I was also working on the rear fender, about three days in all. I would have to say it probably looks better than the day it left the factory. However, I got home after work to see it lying up-side-down in the drive, destroyed. We had a major shift in the wind that afternoon that was so strong it picked it up off the sawhorses and slammed it down about 6' away. Like I said, a total loss. I was so mad, I couldn't even cuss. Stripped and started over yesterday.

sorry the wind messed your fender up. We are getting some crazy winds out of the south east here today too, it's chilly and miserable compared to the weather yesterday.

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.
