Overview

The TUAIC steering shaft pinion gear bushing kit is a purpose-built replacement designed to restore steering feel on a wide range of MTD, Cub Cadet, and allied garden tractors. Instead of a single worn part, this set focuses on the two pinion gears that engage the steering shaft, both engineered with an 11-tooth interface and a precise splined bore to match common shaft profiles.

Key compatibility

This kit covers many popular models across brands, including Cub Cadet 1170, 1180, 1212, 1515, 1517, 1525, 1527, 1529, 1600, 1800, and LT series like LT1018, LT1022, LT1024, LT1040, LT1042, LT1045, LT1046, LT1050, along with SLT, GT, and similar lines. It also lists compatible Troy-Bilt and Columbia lines such as Bronco, LTX1842, CR30, White LT-5000, Lawn Chief, and more. This broad coverage can simplify replacement planning if you own multiple machines or perform routine maintenance for a fleet.

  • Fits: Cub Cadet 1170–1800 family and numerous LT/SLT/GT variants.
  • Also compatible with select Troy-Bilt, Columbia, Yard-Man, and Huskee models.
  • Includes two pinion gears (717-1554 and 941-0656A) with 11 teeth and a splined bore.

What’s in the box

  • 1 piece 717-1554 steering pinion
  • 1 piece 941-0656A steering pinion
  • Both gears feature a robust 11-tooth interface for reliable engagement

Real-world benefits (possibilities)

  • Potentially reduced steering play, yielding steadier turns and more predictable handling.
  • Compatibility with factory geometry may help preserve steering feel when replacing worn components.
  • Simple swap option for owners performing in-house maintenance or professional service jobs.

Installation notes

Professional guidance is recommended if you are unsure about spindle alignment or spline fit. Check compatibility against your machine’s model number before purchase to ensure a precise match and smooth operation after replacement.

Fit check and installation tips

Before installing, compare the two gears to your current steering pinions: look for an 11-tooth interface and a splined bore. If your machine appears in the compatibility notes, this kit is designed to align with the original geometry for a straightforward swap. If you maintain multiple machines, note the broad model range to simplify parts planning.
