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.
