Default Steering wheel decal removal
I have to remove the steering wheel on my 149 to service the column. I have found and read several threads here and I have pretty good idea on how to get the wheel off the column, but none of the threads mention removing the decal, or metal cover on the wheel that hides the nut. Is there a way to remove it without destroying it? How is it fastened? How is it re installed?
Thanks.

It is stuck on there with the adhesive on the back of the decal. You can use WD 39 to soften up the glue.

Mine was a metal cover on my 129 and It was glued down. I carefully put a heat gun to it and again carefully pried it up and it came off without damage.

Thanks guys. I guess some patience will be required. I hope I can remember where I put it after the last time I used it.

If I don't destroy it, I guess I can use contact cement to replace it right?

That's what I did. I'm pretty sure that's what was on it before. I think mine had been off before by a PO.

Thanks for the help. I sprayed some WD40 around it and them slipped a razor blade under. It peeled off nice and easy. I also used the 5/8 fine thread nit and bolt with hammer trick and the steering wheel popped right off.

Glad to hear that you got it off so easy. I tried wd40 on mine but that thing was really on there. The PO went nuts with the glue.

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.
