CHECKING STEERING WHEEL

If it is difficult to drive the tractor in a straight line, check the play in the steering wheel. Acceptable steering wheel play is 0.8 to 1.0 inches (20 to 25mm) as measured at the circumference of the steering wheel. If your steering wheel free play exceeds the acceptable range, contact your Cub Cadet dealer to have the tractor inspected.
