This mower is a 1554 LT but should work for any 1500 series, many Cub Cadet Tractors and possibly other makes as well.

Hey I want to say thank you for holding the parts up so that I can write the part numbers down that was awesome of you that saved me a lot of time thank you
Glad to help. Good luck on the project.
I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.
Thanks for watching. What was the challenge? Getting the part? The link we include here is available with free 2-day shipping.
I believe this is what I need. I have an LT1050 that won't steer at all anymore. Just ordered this for like $6.00 on Amazon. Thanks for the info.
You are welcome. Glad to help.
Funny I have an LTX 1050. Clicks when you try to turn it. Looks like we have the same issue. Great to know it’s not that bad to fix.
Worked lika a charm!
The old bushing was stuck and it looked like just a round hole until i got my head all the way under and saw the problem.
Saved me a lot of aggravation and money, so BIG THANK YOU! 😊
Glad it worked for you. We are happy to help.
I big thank you for this video. I was able to buy the pieces at my local cub cadet for $14. Quick 15 minute install after watching your video.
I was able to easily drop the bushing through the hole the steering column inserts through.
Glad it was helpful to you. Thanks for taking the time to comment. We appreciate your support.
I watched a few different videos about this. You’re the ONLY one to point out to align the steering wheel. I would not have thought of that.
Glad to help. Good luck on the project.
So needed on so many old tractors. Farm life is tough.
Thanks for checking it out

Pretty common.
My 2006 cub cadet 50inch did the same thing Rachet strap fixed her for 3 years lol finally bought the right part for 6 bucks on amazon was super easy to fix myself
Thanks for watching. Ratchet Strap and Duct Tape have fixed a lot of problems. Add in a zip tie and you have a full tool box! Glad to hear you got it fixed up good. Fire It Up!
This was awesome...thank you! Saved me a ton of money from not having to bring it to a repair place.
Glad it helped out! Yep doing it yourself is a great way to save a few bucks and put the money towards something you enjoy!
I hope this is the same on my XT1 and I hope it is as easy to do as you made it look! You explained things well and your camera work was absolutely fantastic - under the mower and even when driving. Great job and thank you!
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it and hope it helps on your specific model. This is the same as many other Cub Cadet mowers. Thank you for the encouragement. FIRE IT UP!
Steering went completely while mowing last weekend, and i just fixed my Cub Cadet LTX1046 completely thanks to this video and a few others. THANK YOU!

Thanks for this video. it helped me a lot, and made me finally start fixing my mower that i had not used in a while. I don't have to borrow mowers anymore!
Glad to help. It is a simple fix once you figure out what is wrong. Get that thing going again! Fire It Up!
First result for that search string.
Part numbers appear to be a little different for my ltx1045.
Thanks for creating this video and sharing it. This helped me more easily replace the flange (and gears) on my LT1045. Thanks, again.

Thanks for the video! I just replaced the same parts. Now my right front wheel doesn’t won’t to turn like the left, any idea what it could be?
Try to take the load off the wheels and see if they both turn smoothly. There may be some misalignment in the new parts.
You may have saved my bacon! Will inspect & order! Thanx
Glad to help. Not a terribly difficult project.
Good luck!
Fantastic... thank you for the links. My project for the weekend.

Thanks so much. Great video. You fixed my problem
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
For new viewers, check the Sector gear as well . If it is noticeably worn, change it. NOT an easy job. The Pinion Gear (11 teeth) can also be turned upside down for a new wear surface if it is not wear in the Centre. Add a washer on top in that case.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the tip.
Thank you saved me a ton of money as well!
Thanks for watching. Glad we could help.
Great Video....parts ordered and will get it fixed. Thanks for the links.

Not sure about your freight? Took me 3 months to get parts. Thank you so much, it was a very easy fix!
Wow! 3 months! A whole new world these days. I am pretty sure when we did this project we got the parts on amazon prime in a few days. Glad you got it going again. Fire It Up!
Thanks so much for the video with part numbers. Ordered from Amazon.

Thanks for sharing, WOW! 86,000 views. This tells me that Cub Cadet has a big problem with steering gear flange. Mine just broke today and I only have 110 hours of mowing. My flange looks to be round and not a hex flange. I will know more tomorrow when I tear it apart. Thanks for a great video, I hope I can get my 70 year old fat butt up and off the ground to get this fixed. LOL. I do have a question for you though. What keeps the Hex Flange in place? It looks like the shaft just slid through it and it's held in by gravity????
Great question. The Hex just sits in place and the shaft comes through it. I don't remember though if the shaft has a notch or milled portion on it that keeps the flange in place once installed. We sold this mower long ago so I can't check on that for you. Sorry! It will be clear as soon as you take a look at the steering shaft. Thanks for watching! Good luck with the project.
Appreciate it bud gotta do mine tomorrow very helpful.
Thanks for watching. It's a pretty easy fix. You got this
That's it. Awsome thanks.

good job on this video!!
Thank you sir. And thanks for watching and commenting. FIRE IT UP!
My pinion gear won’t come off!!! I’ve got the nut off but the gear won’t budge. I’ve soaked it in PB blaster too!
You may be able to use a small gear puller. Here are a couple of versions amzn.to/3yR2SpD
amzn.to/3YSPn3l
Trying to do the exact same job on mine right now, but the bolt is incredibly tight and I cannot get it off. How did you stop the steering shaft from turning, that would have been super handy to see in the video? Great work! :-)
Thanks for watching. And thank you for asking the question. The gear should be holding the shaft from turning unless it is no longer engaging with the opposing teeth. Ours was engaged and was not excessively tight. In that case you can try to wedge it into engagement or if that does not work you may be able to hold the shaft at a higher point above. This may be directly above or anywhere along the shaft (possibly in the engine compartment). A really good set of vice grips will hold tight on a round shaft, just make sure it is in an area on the shaft that could be minimally marred without any negative effects (somewhere along the shaft that does not contact any other surfaces)
Impact wrench is easiest but a 2x4 or piece of rope through the steering wheel will work
Great video. I've got one wheel that's turning as I backup only, but otherwise stays straight. Any ideas? I bought my 1018 used from a seller for $300 and have been going over it. It's at least useable and starts right up now unlike how I got it.
Check the steering gear (if no already replaced) That can make it do some strange things. Also check for slop in the other connection points along steering. With the tractor lifted in the front it is easier to see what is going on with the steering.With the deck off it is even easier. Check for worn parts and replace. Congrats on a great buy. Glad to hear you were able to Fire It Up!
Great Video
Thanks for watching. Hope it was helpful to you.
This just happened to my Cub Cadet. I ordered the parts online and was wondering how hard it was to replace. Thanks for the video!! What did you use to lift the mower up off the ground?
It is a pretty simple project. I believe we did this one without raising the mower. But it is possible to use either a car jack and jack stands or drive the front wheels up on a curb to get more lift.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Just so everyone knows, if you grease the axel’s on either side regularly it won’t put near the strain on those bushings and gears
Thanks for sharing the tip.
100 percent CORRECT!
Having a hard time getting the gear out. Any suggestions? Soaked it in pb blaster for a few days still nothing
If there is any slop vertically in the shaft you may be able to pull up on it to loosen the gear. If you still aren't having luck you can try a gear puller, ball joint separator, or heat (remove the fuel tank first if you choose to heat it)
How about a video showing how to replace worn steering flange (king pin)bushings on MTD 46" riding mower? THANK YOU!

PLEASE TRUN OFF RADIO NEXT TIME. WE NEED TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.
Thanks for the feedback. Please let us know if there are any steps you need more info on. Good luck with the project.
When the steering goes out you have a problem! REALLY BAD WHEN YOU FIND OUT IN A TURN!
Never good to have steering go out
Mine only does the clicking and slipping when I go to turn right turning left no problem its only on the right how do I fix that?
There is a good chance this will fix it. On the tractor here the problem started small only doing it every now and then and progressively got worse until you could not steer it any longer. There is not much to the system- so there is a pretty high probability this is your fix.
@@FireItUpGarage thank you gonna order the parts to fix it I need my mower can't buy a new one. Thank you for replying. And your awesome video cause now I know how to fix the issue. Cheap fix that is more than do able
@@temekawhitsitt2346 They are great mowers. Last forever with some minor maintenance Good Luck.
@@temekawhitsitt2346 I'm having the same issue with my cub turning left. Turning right I have no issues. Have you tried this, and if so, did it fix the issue?
@@trucker86a Mine was like that, the bushing was worn in an oval, so it put pressure in the right place for right turns, but not left. the bushing is made of real soft metal...
