Steering progress
Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2005 11:24 pm
I finally found a rebuildable steering gear and after inspecting it I decided to replace the bearing races or cups. I went to the local Cub Cadet dealer but what they brought me out didn't match what I had. It seems it is a newer style. Mine is a very curved cup while the one they brought me has straight sides and flat bottom with only a small curve between. I wish I could explain the differences better. I can email a picture of the one I need if you would like to see it. The newer style is pictured here:

If I use the new style it will not be supported in the case and adjusting plug as it should be. I'm sure some of you are familiar with the two styles of races used and perhaps could tell me where to find replacements for the older style. I think the part number I need is IH-379405-R1.
Thanks,
Chris
