[Farmall] cub cadet steering upgrade

[farmallgray at aol.com]

I have done it on several of mine. Seems to work pretty well. 
I got the bearings directly from a bearing supplier and the lock nuts you can get from a good fastener store.
The bearing is made by Nice and the number is N605.
You will probably want to rebuild the steering gear at the same time.

I don't necessarily agree with straightening the side plate. Having a bit of crown on that plate reduces friction between the plate and the seal retainer.

I've seen a couple places you can order a thrust bearing kit for the steering on 
ub Cadets. Supposedly it makes the steering much easier. Anyone here ever done 
his upgrade? We've got 3 here I'm thinking about installing it on.
