Re: Cub Steering
Yes. 2 bolts, the steering bushing near the steering wheel, and it pulls straight out.

Yes, but it can be frustrating at times . You just need to rotate it in once it is lined up.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Re: Cub Steering
Make sure that the lower thrust washer (#7) stays in place in the bolster or goes back in place on the steering shaft. Use some grease to stick it there. Also note that the parts shown at the lower end of the shaft are not shown in the correct order, even though it looks like they are. Parts 8, 9 & 10 go above part 6 and go on from the steering wheel end of the shaft.

I wish we could get two days of 60 degrees so I can get loaded for a trip. Now I have 20 degree temps with 25 mile winds. No 60 drees days shown in the ten day forcast.

Re: Cub Steering
On a side note can I ask, is there any way to adjust these steering boxes to take out some slack?

Re: Cub Steering
There are two bronze bushings inside on the gear shaft that will wear. You can compensate for that by removing the cotter key on the bottom of the shaft and tightening the castellated nut. Slack can also be removed by removing or changing the shim thickness on the steering arm that comes out the front of the box. Slack at the outer ends of the tie rods (from wear) can be reduced by removing the cotter there and tightening the slotted end piece.

Re: Cub Steering
I've got slack in my steering also. Mine is nearly half a turn on the wheel. I'm used to it though, but I probably should fix it. It makes the front wheels shift and walk some and I have to chase the front end with the steering wheel because of it. I'd say I'm probably just making it worse by not dealing with it.

Re: Cub Steering
Here's an old post by Ralph on how to tighten the castellated nut:
Re: steering box nut
by Ralph » Wed Oct 13, 2010 5:50 pm
In order to tighten the play in addition to removing the cotter pin you have to loosen the clamp bolt on thr rear of the pitman 5/8 bolt head ---11/16 nut
then turn steering wheel all the way to the left put 1 inch wrench on the nut and have helper turn the steering wheel to the right and the nut will tighten may need to do the wheel left wheel right a couple times to get it to the correct tightness.
be shure to tighten the clamp bolt after adjustment .
and reinstall cotter pin
AND
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE CASTLE NUT

Re: Cub Steering
I over tightened my castle nut, bad move. It steers a little hard now, and you can't loosen the nut to make it steer easy, it doesn't loosen the steering at all.
