About the steering system.

I'm still hitting the drag...
Could you show me the drawing?
" This by the way is adjustable as the plate in front of the cross member has slots so you can tighten it . "

I don’t know if this right spindle is the correct one for your unit, but if you look closely the part where the drag link attaches is not bent down like the one on your unit. Please post your Murray numbers. https://www.ereplacementparts.com/spindle-assembly-right-p-271195.html

Do not scare me!
In the diagram it appears with the fold.

You have circled the left hand spindle, I’m talking about the right hand spindle. If you look at this one, part number 705152 you will see yours has a bend in it. New one is straight. https://www.ereplacementparts.com/spindle-asm-p-2143477.html

But the right one too... see it enlarged... the angle doesn't favor it, but it does have a fold.

Sorry to bother you as we are not on the same page and you’ve made your decision as to how to proceed. Good luck with your project, as I am not being of much help.

Well, I went ahead with the fix on Spindle...
Tomorrow during the day I will see the result better.

It was relatively easy, but if there was drag adjustment it would be much better.

On the contrary friend, any comment is important, even if it is not in the way of my immediate solution.
After completing the adjustment on the spindle, I was able to assess that the best way out would be to make an adjustable drag... but I couldn't gather the necessary material.
The adjustment on the spindle is apparently good, but if not, it is returnable.

Well, the work on the spindles turned out pretty good and it might stay that way until I sort out an adjustable drag.
Yesterday, when removing the spindles, I noticed that the bushings are already at the end of their useful life, but I can't reproduce these because they are too thin and I ran out of raw material.
After all the adjustment, the left wheel continued to scrape the drag link a little less... and the right one started to touch, which did not happen before.
So I reversed the drags and... BINGO!!!



More and more I hate those who did maintenance before me...
