753-11064B CR12 Steering Service Kit for MTD, CUB Cadet CC30H CC30E CC30 H-ydro M-ini Riders, for Craftsman R1000 Lawn Tractor Lawn Mower, Replace 783-09629 783-07239 783-06988 753-11064B 783-07239A

What It Is

The 753-11064B CR12 Steering Service Kit replaces worn-out steering gears and bushings on MTD, Cub Cadet CC30H/CC30E, and Craftsman R1000 lawn tractors. It’s designed for mini-riders and hydrostatic models where steering slop or play has developed.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check your machine’s model number (not just brand). This kit is direct-fit for:

• Cub Cadet: CC30H, CC30E, and other CC30-series Hydro Mini Riders
• Craftsman: R1000 lawn tractor
• MTD: Various models using steering part numbers 783-09629, 783-07239, 783-06988, 753-11064B, or 783-07239A

It does not fit larger garden tractors or zero-turn mowers. Measure your steering shaft diameter (typically 5/8″ or 3/4″) and compare to the included bushings. If your tractor has a different steering box design (e.g., rack-and-pinion), this kit won’t work.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OEM-grade plastic/composite gears and bushings. Expect 2–3 seasons of normal use before play returns.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty—requires removing the steering wheel, dash panel, and sometimes the front axle. No special tools beyond basic sockets and a puller.
• Common gotcha: The kit includes both upper and lower bushings. If your steering shaft is worn (scored or bent), replacing only the kit won’t fix slop—inspect the shaft first.
• Compatibility nuance: Some CC30 models use a different steering gear (check if your original part number ends in “A”). Cross-reference your old part with the list above.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if your CC30, R1000, or MTD mini-rider has loose steering and you want a cheap, direct replacement. Avoid if your steering shaft is damaged or if you have a different tractor series—this kit is model-specific.
