Cub Steering Conversion

Steering conversion purchased from Earl Fauble, 6991 16th Rd, Amanda, OH 43102. E-mail: earlfauble@buckeyeinternet.com
Conversion consisted of the plate and pins attached to the steering arm and the tie rods. Additional items required were two left hand rod ends, purchased from local industrial supply and two socket headed bolts.
The two bolt holes in the steering arm were reamed/drilled out to match the bolt holes in the adapter plate.
Only minor problem was that one of the welds holding a pin to adapter plate broke when I was tightening the nut. I dressed the old weld and rewelded - actually welded both pins with my arc welder.
It's a very good product. Old steering arm was worn out beyond adjustment. The conversion removed all of the slop out of the front end except for a tiny amount in the steering sector.
Yes, I straightened up the rod end after taking the photo. Right front tire is also flat in the photo.
I should add that Earl had parts for several different Cub steering arms.
