129 - steering wheel shaft problem
I'm starting to go through the 129 I picked up a couple of weeks ago. The steering wheel is sticking too far up. Can you tell me how this happened and what to do to fix it?
Thanks a lot, Mike.

The steering wheel is not sticking too far up, that is the normal position. The plastic bushing has come out of the tube, so you'll need to remove the steering wheel and install either a new plastic bushing or the upgrade part, a ball bearing (which happens to be the same size as the front wheel bearing for the 3/4" spindles, IIRC), up there. The later tractors have a foam donut that goes between the steering wheel and the bushing that sort of helps keep it in the column.

$4 part and an $80 tool to remove the steering wheel.
 Can anyone tell me anything about the upgrade part that was mentioned? Is it worth it? With any luck I can get the steering wheel off w/ out the tool. What are the chances I break it in the process w/out the tool? Thanks, Mike Thank you very much for posting that part #. That is excellent.

You don't need that $80 tool, you just need a harmonic balancer puller and a block of hardwood. (See next post for picture, I got in too much of a hurry and forgot it)
You can use the bolt and nut trick too, but you'll wreck the bearings in the column if there is any amount of rust in the splines on the wheel. Honestly, I'd just grab the bushing with a pair of pliers and then try to pry it back into place with a screwdriver. I just did that on one of mine, as somehow it vibrated out like yours did. As long as it isn't really worn, it'll probably stay there and be fine.

I was at TSC recently, and while in the hardware section, noticed (in the special hardware parts bins) they have 1-3/8" flanged bearings. They are Very cheap, too. Definitely good enough for the top of a steering column, but Id never put them in the front wheels. Thats just to put out there, if you decide to pull the steering wheel.

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.
