Hi all--
So, I have a 1996 Murray Rider (46"); Model #49601X92B. The steering went awry (broken teeth on the Steering Gear, and a missing nut from the bolt that held the Steering Gear to the Sector Gear Bracket). The part (Steering Gear) is obsolete, however I found an aftermarket product (of an assembled Lower Sector Gear Bracket, Upper Sector Bracket, Pinion Gear, etc.). BTW, it's a perfect fit so I'll post the webpage www.ereplacementparts.com <-- if you go to the webpage and type in the Model (49601X92B) a Parts Manual appears, the pages are F & G, specifically "F" (Part #7) is the problematic issue... See below paragraph.
The problem, while I was disassembling the Sector Gear Bracket from the frame, I had to disassemble the Blade Rotation Control/Shaft, as with the Steering Shaft... in the process, the (Blade Rotation Control) TORSION SPRING fell free from it's position before I could commit to memory the exact placement. I've tried every conceivable combinations and it eludes all common sense; and the Parts Diagram is too vague to determine the proper placement.
I would appreciate a diagram and/or step-by-step instruction...
Blessings,
Tim
