STEERING BOX
I'm still going through the 1950 CUB found the gear box f/steering with nothing in it, was thinking abt filling it w/water to see where all the oil went. What is UR opinion?

Re: STEERING BOX
The shaft that comes down from the box and has the arm to move the tie rods has a seal on it that probably has worn out.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Re: STEERING BOX
Hi,
It's better for it to put in some oil, my opinion. The owner's manual says it holds 3/4 pint of 80W-90 gear oil.
Here are pages from the Cub parts manual showing the steering gear, the lower seal is number 22 in the pic. The upper seal, number 8, should be replaced too if you are taking it apart, helps keep rain out of it.
Below are the new seals at TM Tractor, they have gaskets for it too.

Re: STEERING BOX
The fill plug is supposed to have a vent hole to keep the steering box from becoming pressurized when it warms up. if the plug was replaced with a stand NPT plug or the hole clogged that may have contributed to the failure of the seal. Check the plug for the vent hole and make sure it is clear.
When you only have 9 horsepower you need to know the names of all of the ponies!
