steering box
On my 1450 I had to pull the steering because of over 90 deg. of free play on the wheel. I found that the screw was gouged and chipped. To speed things up I bought some bolts and cut the heads off and tapered the end to fit the widest part of the groove. I then cut the rest of the groove wider with a dimond wheel in my drill and smoothed up some of the worst of the sharp chipouts. When putting it back I didnt like the metal on metal of the drive flange so I cut a piece of snow carpet [plastic] and put it between to reduce friction. I got to try it when I mowed the lawn and I would say that it was almost as good as my power on the Ransomes. Two fingers for most of the steering. I hope that it will last for a few years but time will tell. I really dont see any need to put the Nice bearing on at this time.

You are right about supposed to be grease. What I have seen on my two cubs is alot of deep scufs in the metal going as far as wearing the jellybean shaped piece through. So I added the slippery plastic to cut the friction that seems to be there and I seem to have reduced the efford needed to turn the wheel. I know that with proper maintenance there should be lots of grease but that don't always happen. When the bearing arrives at the supplier I'll put it on and give an update.
We are now off for 2 weeks camping so will update then Thanks for looking Ken

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.
