Cub steering
Hey guys, is there anything I can do to take some of the slop out of my steering without replacing anything? Not sure if there is any adjustments? I’ve looked In my shop manual and all it says as far as I can tell is if things ain’t right replace?? That’s great but like I was wandering before I spend a fortune in steering parts and intense labor can I adjust steering?? Thanks

Re: Cub steering
the steering arm is adjustable, loosen pinch bolt, remove cotter pin from the large nut and tighten the nut to reduce the play in the steering column, also the tie rods and ends are adjustable if needed

Re: Cub steering
Also, early cubs had set screws at the top of the spindles that often come loose or break, and the number and thickness of shims where the steering arm holds the ball end of the tie rods can be adjusted.
Jack up the front end to get the wheels off the ground, and turn the wheels back and forth manually while standing in front of the tractor. It will become clear which of these locations need attention.
