Default anyone seen this before???

This is a pic of my 70s steering housing...Dont think I can revive this one..I was in the process of taking it off the tractor to rebuild and found this..Pics not great but at some point this thing came apart on the inside and shoved the bearing out through the casting on the housing....you can see the bearing pushing out of the hole in the casting....I honestly think I can fix this one but dont think its worth the trouble...Let me know what you think....

It looks like it's starting to spider web around the hole, and it appears that there is a crack started around the circumference about where the top of the plug is. Might be a difficult fix.

I have seen posts worst. Water can get down there from sitting outside and then freeze. From what I can see (the eyes are not as good as they use to be)
you can either patch this one up, or replace it with a new or used one.

I didnt think about water getting down there but that would sure do it..I have another sector out of a 147 the only difference I can see is that that tube is shorter in my 70....Does anyone know if the tubes are pressed in the cam follower housing.?If so I might take the guts out the 70's change the tubes and put the 70s guts in it...Has anyone done this? thanks for the input....Randy

Don't know about your tractor but in the quietlines it is really common for the tube to be loose and floating....and you need to expand the tube for a press fit when rebuilding.

Unless you're worried about the 70 being exact, I'd just throw the 147 column in there and call it good.

the 70 I got a short time ago to be my first true restoration has the steering box broken in 2 pieces. The bottom and half of one side are broken off in one pieces on the diagonal !I'll try to get some pics once the rain stops here.This tractor is in bad shape something other guys might use as parts but for me I want it for the learning curve it will provide.I can't believe I'm saying this but I'll buy better projects later!

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.
