steering

My wife has a lady friend that has a ztr that she just can't get the hang of controlling it with the twin levers. Her neighbor comes over and does the manly thing and mows her yard for her. She would like to do this herself and commented to my wife that she sure wished there was a ztr with a...

I have a Craftsman mower where the front tires are bowed out. I have checked tie rods and drag links, and they are tight. The spindles appear to not be bent. There is a lot of front to back play in the "I-beam", but the pivot bolt is tight, also there is a lot of flex in the gear sector. What...

Concerning the little dampers on each steering lever of my mower(XDX), is it possible that the rod could just unscrew itself from the knuckle at the front, as opposed to it being broken? Very low hours, and while I haven’t accessed the damper yet, I can see the threaded end of the rod just...

Had my right steering arm get real loose and floppy while mowing. That steering arm is REAL sensitive and difficult to control so I see why they installed these dampers! Found the damper #603983 is broken after 9 years of use. Raptor SD54 Mower. They are $65 each and with the age of things I was...

I need step by step instructions for adjusting tracking. Mower was drifting to the left, and couldn't remember how a friend that works on lawnmowers showed me to do it. At one point, it just got to where it would make a circle, and when I put it in Park, it was still trying to go. With the...

Simplicity 1693601. When I turn the steering wheel all the way to the right I am unable to return the wheels to straight. If I turn steering wheel it just clicks and no movement from the front wheels. If I manually turn the front tires to the left the steering will "catch" and turn normally...

I have a Toro 5475 Time Cutter, Easy ride zero turn. The right side control arm just flops around. Can use but pretty tricky. Something disconnected or broke. Any ideas?

Picked up a used GT2100, pretty good shape, mainly looking for a 50" deck to replace a rusted out one on one of my LX500 models. Turns out they aren't interchangeable, GT2100 is a larger/higher tractor, and I discovered the rear life mounts on the deck of the GT2100 are taller. In any...

Hello to everyone, looking for some advise. I have a bit of a problem with my 2004 stiga park pro 20, The power assisted steering is gone knotchy and hardish to turn either way, I have changed the filter and the oil. I think the transmission and the steering share the same system and oil. Has...

My Dixie Chopper Right steering control works in Reverse but not Forward. When the throttle is high, I can hear a whining sound when I move the Right steer control forward. Reverse has full power. The Left Steering control has full power in reverse and forward. Hydraulic fluid level is...

Craftsman 917.289272 (YT4000 ??) MFG in 2010. Upgraded front wheel bushings using bearing kit upgrade and added washer bearing also. But now steering control over front wheels has a problem where both front tires direction will suddenly turn just a bit left or right requiring constant steering...

My ZT HD only has 65 hours left steering leaver won’t automatically return to natural. When I start it I have to hold leaver to neutral before releasing parking brake, can not find a service manual for it .

Anyone have a remedy for this annoying squeaky steering shaft bushing? Located under the steering wheel at the shroud.... have tried several types of spray lubes with none - so far, making a difference. (can't hear it while mowing... but I know it's still there...:LOL:) Thanks for any response.
