Power steering pump service
I am wondering if I should rebuild my PS pump this summer or wait till it breaks some day in the future. It is at least 15 years old. I got it used to put on my 1541. What do people think, rebuild it even though it is running fine or wait till it stops working. (in the dead of winter of course).
What are the signs that they are going bad?? Do they tend to give a warning that they are going or do they just die?

Ok... are you talking about the hand pump at the base of the steering column? If you are, no. Don't do anything to it. If it ain't broke don't fix it. When I worked for IH the only real problem I ever saw with them was they started leaking. Same pretty well goes on the big IH tractors. It's not very often at all that the hand pump had to be replaced. I still work on lots of old tractors with the original pump. As far as a warning before going... Like I said, usually they just leak. If you have never had a hand pump apart, they are kind of complicated. The internal rotor has to be timed. If it isn't right they don't work. And when I say don't work, I mean you put it back on and start the engine and the steering wheel will "power" right out of your hand one direction or the other till it hits the stops and sit under load till you shut it off. I'm not saying that they can't be rebuilt.... Just saying it really isn't something that you want to tear apart "just because" If it isn't leaking...... I wouldn't touch it!

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.
