Steering Wheel Removal

[jack casey]

Nonsense. The splines keep the steering wheel clocked upon installation.

Rude is described as crude or rough in form, ignorant, discourteous, unmannerly, showing little skill and so on. This is you. These pages exist for us to help each other, but you cannot let a perceived mistake lie. You just have to take a shot.
You don't know everything, my CC102 has no splines to 'clock' the steering wheel.

What kind of steering wheel did you use? I have yet to see after 20 years of working on Cub Cadets a steering shaft or wheel with no splines.

Beats me. There was a substantial lock washer, flat washer and serious nut to hold all together. When loosened nothing moved. When chiseling the small part that was seized to the hub I was careful to not bugger-up the threads. Can see where splines would have made things easier but I hold no IH grudges, the CC was great, except for this, not a moment of trouble.
Cheers, Jack

Calling me rude while insulting my skill and intelligence. Pot, meet kettle.

There is no 'perception' of a mistake. You have asserted things not in evidence. False information helps no one, and you continue doubling down on it. This forum has historically policed bad information and is better for it. Some other pages I belong to, a guy asks a question and half the replies are incorrect. Not helpful.

You don't know everything, my CC102 has no splines to 'clock' the steering wheel.

I certainly don't know everything, and will never claim to, but every IH Cub Cadet garden tractor ever made was produced with a splined steering shaft with a taper below it, and an nut to retain the wheel on the steering shaft, as shown in the photo Kraig posted on the last page. Every single one of them, including your 102, left the factory this way. I don't know why this is so difficult for you to comprehend, but just because something was altered on YOUR single tractor somewhere along the line before you obtained it, it does not mean that all of them came that way.

Like Lewis (and Matt, though he didn't state so) I've been working on Cub Cadets for decades and have never seen one without the splines and tapered hub on the steering wheel and steering column. It was above zero (F) today so I dug out some parts for some photos, steering wheels from a 1x4/5 and/or 1x6/7 series and a steering column from the same.

I struggled removing the 105’s steering wheel once. Put never seize on the splines after that.

Funny how the accuser actually seems to be the one guilty of being rude and is now trying to be the victim. I was hoping common sense was re-emerging.

You began this issue with a snarky comment, knock it off. There's no place for it here.
What I simply said was that my shaft had no splines. Not a big deal. I pointed no fingers of blame anywhere, not looking for fault anywhere. If they ran out of parts at the factory and used a 'no spline' piece, I DON'T CARE. As we say in my old neighborhood 'it didn't hurt the runnin' of it none.' Amen, JJC
