Default Super 2072 Update/Problems

Started ripping into the 2072 apart today BAD NEWS: Uncovered Major Problem is the Steering, which I am sooooo hoping you guys are gonna tell me isn't a Big Problem. Anyway, as I told you in previous Post, this tractor sat for 3 to 5 years OUTSIDE. Here's the scenario. When we went to pick it up, the steering was VERY HARD, as I expected, seeing it was Power Steering and not running. Now, the steering isn't turning at all. The Steering Wheel & Nut are NOT loose on the shaft. But turns in Both Directions with NO Movement at all to the wheels. Very slight noise from the shaft. Does Not sound Metallic or Broken????? What Did I Do Wrong????
Is this just because the Pump (tractor) isn't running or could I have Broken something by forcing the wheel so hard when loading it onto the trailer? As I said it was very hard to turn.
Before I pull the Gas tank off to look down inside there, I figured I better ask You guys for your Help. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
While I waiting, I'm going drain the gas, clean the carb, change the oil & plugs, and try to get her running to test the P.S and see if there is any difference.

Thanks Guys,

Dan O'

Hi DanO', without seeing what you have there, it sounds pretty much how my SGT operate with the steering. check the driveline/driveshaft for worn parts and sloppyness between the pump and the engine. Check the rear axle for loose/broken mounting bolts, put in a rear brace kit as time permits. Check the hydro oil out to see if it is milky on color or at the right level. I would also change the hydro oil and filter too.

With the engine running you should see and expect normal steering.

Thanks Guys, that's Really Great News .. I suspected as much but then kinda thought it was wishful thinking.. You all Made My Day.
You Gotta Cut me some slack, I'm a Rookie at these Fancy GT's with all the Bells & Whistles.. I Honestly have NEVER even owned a Tractor with Power Steering.. I'm an Old David Bradley and Farmall Man.. VERY, VERY SIMPLE Mechanics.. that's the way I like it.
I just Got the Carb Pulled off, Cleaned out and Soaking.. Fresh Oil and Fresh Gas. Running into town to get a new Battery for her now. Will keep you updated soon as she Fires up. Thanks Again

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.
