I pulled the Ross steering box apart on my 72 LGT 145 because the steering was making a bit of a grinding noise. The bearings came out in pieces.
The rest of the parts seem to be OK, but I'm not sure if the adjustment screw is worn.
I understand they are a cub cadet part. Does anyone have a part number so I can order parts or are all of the ones listed for Cub Cadet Ross steering the same?
They are pretty expensive kits and I don't want to order the wrong one!

Hey Joe, I don't have a part number, but it is my understanding guys routinely duplicate that adjustment screw by taking a similar hardened bolt, cutting the head end off to length and grinding the tip to match the worm gear it runs in.

You can probably match the bearing at a local industrial supplier. I never buy OEM bearings for any brand, I always use my local guy to duplicate them for a lot less money.

Thanks, I'll see what i can find.

I think I sourced all the parts I needed for under $20.
Jacobsen, cub cadet, John Deere, snapper and others used Ross steering.
You can pay as much as you want.

I used his kit and got my steering back to working order.

Appreciate the help so far.
I just noticed that the bearing keeper I pulled out in pieces is different than the keeper on the top bearing. It appears to be a cast metal? The cup size seems to be the same size, but it had a flat bottom instead of the round bottom in the cub cadet kits?
Has anyone replaced one of these with the cub cadet part?

Do you know if they ship to Canada?

Yes it was shipped to me in Ontario. Sorry for the slow reply, I was away deer hunting.

Thanks,
I emailed them and the parts are on the way...
