3240 power steering help
I blew the left hand steering hose, replaced it, and now have no steering.
It made one unaided turn to the right and would not return. I can turn it left if I pull the wheel, but it just seems like the fluid is not coming through. Does it need to be bled? Does the piston need to be pre loaded? I tried working the steering back and forth with no success. The deck lift is working but not if I turn the wheel at the same time.

Power steering help
The power steering wheel/valve should fill and bleed the cylinder without any special procedure except to turn it all the way to the left then right.
Check your hose connections and be sure your steering valve is working correctly. It could be blocking the fluid flow causing the deck problems.

Thanks. I think I'm going to loosen the fittings and see what squirts. I did have the hose made up by a local guy using the old hose fittings, I'm hoping that the hose is kinked or blocked. It sure does seem like the fluid is not getting through.

FWIW:
on most mobile equipment, the steering has "priority" over other powered circuits. the fact that the deck lifts, says your hyd. system is functioning but there is a problem with the steering circuit when commanded to steer, which you know. With the engine running Slightly loosening the hoses one at a time at the cyl, then turning the steering wheel L/R that should tell if the fluid is trying to advance /retract the cyl. Wondering if there was a problem with the cyl blowing by internally, and then the hose gave way? Disclaimer: I've never touched your style mower, just giving generic experience. oh, have a drain pan to catch the fluid it can have maybe #800 pressure at full turn, and of course wear eye protection.

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.
