I’m not sure if they are still available but a kit for a green colored machine matched all the seals and o rings and was still available at least a few years ago when I bought it. A 318 I believe matches but check first. Good luck and keep an eye on those rascal springs

Talk to our site sponsor, https://cubcadetusedparts.com/ He rebuilds power steering pumps. He probably has the parts or knows what you can substitute for certain parts. Give Rob a call. He'll either answer or call you right back, but it is best to call, as Rob can be a little slow through email, as the Link is his retirement business. He was a Cub Cadet dealer until 2015.

Yes Oak it's been a couple yrs or 10 I don't know. Life is good here in the northeast. Retired now. Any chance a steering column out of a 2082 cyclops work on my 1872. Because of the tilt option I kind of doubt it but figured I would ask.

Kelly, to be honest, I don't know but I've seen you do some impressive things over the years on here so I'm thinking with your skills it would be possible.

Kelly converting a Cyclops box to an 82 style is easy. You'll need a double D to 3/4" coupler and a section of muffler pipe. Woodward steering has the coupler part number 109. I did this on a 1210 years ago using the manual box but the PS box has the same double D shaft dimensions. Link to Woodward. pics of the coupler. Use the upper section from the cyclops just cut it to what ever length works for you. Get some muffler pipe with an expanded end that will slip over the Cyclops box tube and one of those slip in bearings for the upper end.

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.
