Default 782 Steering Column movement

Hi everyone. Could use some advice. I was backing my 782 and trailer into the barn with a load of wood and I was doing the normal back and forth adjustment when backing a short trailer. As I turned around to get a better look at what I was doing I felt the steering wheel move away from me. As it turns out, I can push or pull on the wheel and the entire steering column moves about an inch or so front to back. Is there a collar or bracket or something down below that might have worn out? I have to work on the steering anyway because I have a real sloppy left side ball joint so why not get it all tightened up. Any thoughts?

Pretty sure the 782 is set up like the rest of the Cubs , the only things holding it in is two on the bottom of the column and the rubber grommet on the top.

Check the two bolts on the bottom , they may be loose. Almost all of the tractors i brought home the bolts have been loose. As far as the top , a new grommet will help some , but i have welded a piece of angle onto the metal dashstand and put a clamp on the tube.

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.
