I made this out of scrap metal. The goal is to limit how far the steering plate turns in either direction. Technically, you need two washers and a bolt/nut for the stop. I used two bolts and spacer washers to keep the stop from slipping. This whole steering setup is poorly designed. It...

Here is A fix that works for me. This scheme restricts the turn angle of the steering plate. If the linkage is tight you may need nothing or can use only one bolt. This restrictor can be moved when the linkage gets looser. I adjusted mine until just before the inside wheel flopped and I lost...

THANKS TO ALL! I am new to forums. I think while replying to one response I inadvertently erased it. The suggestion was to restrict the travel of the steering plate, thereby limiting the angle of turn. I tried that but the normal play in the linkage required quite a loss of steering plate...

Thanks. I installed this kit and it took care of the alignment but didn't help the flop-out. I had to cut off 1/4" of each thread in order to get alignment.

Thanks to all. When I got the mower it had a sever toe-out. I replaced the drag links with adjustable ones (threaded ends). They were too long. I cut off 1/4" from each thread and that aligned the tires. I agree that most of us don't need sharp turns but I find that I can't judge the turns...

Thanks. I think that will work.

Thanks. I have a YT3000 'freebie' that has the same setup and steers ok. I swapped the plate, drag links, etc. with my GT6000 and have the same symptoms. I tried caps on the drag links where they go in the steering plate. They don't quite reach the end of the steering slot. I agree that the...

I have a GT6000 with 'tight turn' steering. When turning all the way either right or left the inside wheel flops to 90º of travel. I have replaced all the steering parts and have good alignment. The mower steers fine until I make a hard turn. Ideas?
