Steering shaft gear worn

Started at the bottom, Removed the screw that held in the bottom of the shaft. Went to the steering wheel, popped the plastic cover off and removed the bolt. Then needed to remove the plastic steering cover to get the gear thru. The bottom screw was very tight , needed to remove the deck, tip the machine over, brace it and then remove the screw. When I put it back together I did not need to tip it over. Put the deck back on. DONE Went easier than I thought.

Steering Shaft - 738-0919B

Repair Difficulty:

Medium

Time Spent Repairing:

More than 2 hours

Tools Used:

Screwdriver, Socket set, Wrench Set

Pinion gear, that's fixed to steering shaft, ate its self because of no grease.

Remove hood, fuel tank, steering wheel, inner dash support, phillips screw and washer from bottom end of steering shaft and plastic bushing/sleeve from inner dash. this will give you enough wiggle room to pull shaft and pinion out through bottom side. Poor design with the pinion machined onto the shaft. The holes in dash support are not large enough to let the shaft and pinion pass through. So its the hard way. So to reassemble just reverse the BS. I added a grease cup, full of grease to shaft just above rack and pinion and let gravity deliver the grease. A dirty dusty place and the grease may make it worse in the long run. Time will tell but it works fine and steers easier now than new. that's my wife's opinion and she the mower. Good luck

Center of Hex Flange Bearing wore out creating a lot of play in the steering gear.

I removed gas tank, removed steering wheel. I then remove screw holding steering shaft in Flex Bearing and removed both. (It would have been easier if a bolt instead of a screw had been used to retain steering gear shaft) I used a bolt when I replaced my steering gear shaft. (A socket wrench works a lot better than a screw driver)

Repair Difficulty:

Medium

Time Spent Repairing:

15-30 minutes

Tools Used:

Screwdriver, Socket set, Wrench Set

The hex flange bearing was not greased from the factory and less than two years it wore in a oval shape and caused the splines on the steering shaft to strip out.

Removed the top part of the dash and steering wheel. The steering shaft has a phillips screw in the bottom this was the only problem getting the screw loosened. Instead of putting the screw back I put a short Bolt in its place and added a little thread lock. The parts fit perfect. P. S. Don't forget to put some heavy grease on the steering gears !!! Hope this helps !!!

Parts Used:

Hex Flange Bearing - 741-04124

Repair Difficulty:

Hard

Time Spent Repairing:

More than 2 hours

Tools Used:

Screwdriver, Pliers, Socket set, Wrench Set, Nutdriver, Adjustable Wrench, Propane torch

Steering stopped working

1. Order repair parts after I saw that the bearing and the gear at the bottom of the steering shaft was shot.
2. Lower the deck and remove it.
3. Lift up tractor to get access to Phillips head screw. Back sure that you put a stable support under mower.
4. Screw will not come out because thread locking liquid was used when it was assembled. Use the torch to heat the screw threads above 500 F and then remove the screw.
5. Remove the bearing and shaft and washer. Replace with new parts. I think it helps to epoxy glue the bearing in place after the area has been cleaned. Use flange head hex bolt with same thread to instead of Philips screw. In the future this will allow you to do the repair without removing the mower deck. Use a fiber washer with the bolt to reduce friction. Be sure to lock the bolt threads because if you don't everything come apart when your are mowing.

Steering shaft gear got worn down and had to replace

I had to take off the deck and the transmission pulley gear to get a sawzall in to remove the screw holding the steering shaft to the frame. After this, I had to take apart the console to remove the shaft and gear. Parts were perfect and and replacement was quick. Greatly assisted by the schematics on the site.

Replacement parts online.

The part was easy to locate on website and was delivered within a few days of being ordered. It works fine and the entire process was easy to use.

Guest - September 21, 2019 Verified Purchase

quick easy repair, perfect fit

The part arrived on time. I ordered 2 so I won't have to for another to arrive next time. I haven't got to use it yet though, unfortunately when I installed it I replaced the screw with a hex head bolt and got the bolt to tight and now the steering wheel won't turn. Lol, always check that the wheel turns after installing.

easy parts

the parts I ordered got here in plenty of time. I think the price was reasonable also.

Easy repair

If you don't mind waiting a couple of days this is the most cost effective solution. One screw and didn't have to remove the deck.
