1. Locate the steering mechanism. The steering mechanism on the Cub Cadet 1806 is located under the front of the tractor, just behind the steering wheel.
2. Identify the steering linkage. The steering linkage consists of several rods and joints that connect the steering wheel to the front wheels.
3. Look for loose or worn components. Inspect the steering linkage for any loose or worn components. This includes checking for loose nuts and bolts, worn bushings, and damaged or bent rods.
4. Tighten loose components. If you find any loose components, tighten them until they are snug. Be careful not to overtighten the components, as this can damage them.
5. Replace worn components. If you find any worn components, replace them with new ones.
6. Test the steering. Once you have tightened or replaced the necessary components, test the steering to make sure that the slop has been reduced.
Here are some additional tips that may help you reduce slop in the steering of your Cub Cadet 1806:
* Make sure that the tires are properly inflated. Underinflated tires can increase slop in the steering.
* Check the alignment of the front wheels. If the front wheels are not aligned correctly, this can also lead to slop in the steering.
* Have the steering mechanism professionally inspected and adjusted if necessary. If you are not comfortable working on the steering mechanism yourself, you can have it inspected and adjusted by a professional mechanic.
