Welcome to the forum!!
The tires should be "toed in" about 1/16-1/8" in other words closer in front lubrication helps on anything that turns. Also increased tire pressure helps with turning but don't exceed max marked on sidewall, they are not high pressure like vehicle tires.

How much air pressure do you have in the tires?

i recommend jacking up the front and seeing how easy it turns, if it turns super easy its probably the tires but if its still hard to turn then its something in the steering system.

Welcome fellow Florida Cub Cadet fever victim Fireman9.
If you have two straight yard sticks, stop tractor where it was going straight. Then use duct tape to secure a yard stick on the outside of tire, centered and level. Then adjust (via the tie rod between the spindle arms) to get the distance between the front end of sticks at 1/2" less than the distance at the back end of yard sticks. That seems to work good on my older tractors. Check to see if the steering system is moving freely by using a floor jack or even a 2x4 lever to raise the front axle and the front tires off the ground. Then turn the steering wheel back and forth. If it turns nice and easy, then you at least know it is not binding up somewhere for lack of lube or something too tight, etc.

Also listen and feel for any kind of grinding or metal scrapping sound or feel as you turn the steering back an forth while it is up in the air.

Hard steering on my LT1050 was a problem I couldn't find. It turned out it was a partially siezed tie rod end. Changed the end and now it steers easily.

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.
