Okay here's is another question to make sure i have my box right. I know the ross steering box is a 2 turn box i had assumed thst this meant from center that it takes one turn to the left to hit lock and one to the right to hit lock. While reading on another forum is said it should be 2 turned in each direction to hit lock to lock. Is what i am thinking right or wrong?

The drag link isn't supposed to be bent...the ones you're seeing on epay are all messed up. The steering box is 2 turns lock to lock. Whoever told you two in each direction was wrong.

If you put that in a Cub you just may want to beef it up, just a little.

Default drag link length
John147, On my 104 the drag link measures 15 9/16 " end to end, and the tie rod is 17 3/8 " . Hope this helps, Chris . Measured without ball joints.

These are definitely hiem joints. I ordered a set for my 108 from McMaster Carr. I replaced both the tie rod ends and drag link ends. They were about 3/8 inch longer that the stock 1's but the they work great and have grease fittings. Replacing them took a lot of play out of the steering. Gonna try and tighten up the pivot bolt today maybe. I can see it moving when i turn the wheel.

Here is the part number for McMaster Carr if anyone wants to try them out. They were $6.20 each.

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.
