Default 17' xt3 gsx

hello all!

My first post, I think I have this in the right place and will try to keep short and sweet.

we bought a house last year, and inherited a 2017 XT3 GSX(Model number: 14ZD3LE-010) with the house. used it all summer last year noticed a few steering issues but not enough to worry me, well this season I had two mows on it, and it stop turning hard to the left. But right worked fine!

Some basic research tells me its the steering pinon and the flange/bushing, and this was confirmed true.

Here is the fun part, and where my questions are coming in. all the guides/tutorials show a plate dropping down to give access to the bottom of the steering shaft. after a few hours I realized this is not the case on mine, and after finding a frame diagram, it looks to be true. that plate is welded to the frame and does not come out.

So my questions...
  1. For sanity sake, can anyone confirm this? (that plate will not move)
  2. also confirm that the way I need to fix this is going in through the top? ( removing steering wheel, all assemblies between steering wheel and electronic steering motor)
  3. Any tips or tricks for doing this?
  4. finally is there anything else I should do while I have it apart like this?

Thank you for your time on reading this. I apologize if I missed any info for you guys. let me know if there is anything I can add to help explain further.

Maybe you already have it but here is a link to download the XT3 Parts Manual.

This definitely will help. I have looked through a few diagrams online, but the quality of this one is far greater than the others. thank you for the information.

Thank you for looking. I am waiting for parts in the mail currently. After continuing to look into the diagrams, I am not seeing any other way to perform this job.

The part I need to replace is in/part of the steering assembly.(FLANGE BEARING?) However steering assembly does not come out without moving up, but cannot move up because the steering shaft is sitting in the way. to move that the power steering assembly above it needs to come up. Which means the dashboard/ steering wheel needs to come off as well. I was really hoping I was missing something, but it seems like it will just be a long process to fixing this.

thank you again.

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.
