Product Description

?

This genuine Steering Shaft is designed to fit all the Lawn Tractor models listed below. It features a 5/8" spline and measures 21.86 inches in length, ensuring a precise fit and reliable performance. A common reason for replacement is wear or stripping of the gear on the shaft, which can lead to steering issues. Before replacing the shaft, it’s recommended to inspect the Steering Gear Segment (Part #717-0622C) to determine if it also needs replacement. Replacing both components together can help restore smooth and accurate steering.

It works good
It was the right part along with the bushing on bottom of shaft, but was a bit hard to remove old shaft and bushing, but that was troy-bilts fault for not putting a bolt on the bottom end of the old shaft instead of a screw. New parts work great though. Ereplacement parts is great for mower parts. Thank you

Deck needs to be disconnected and lowered to get better access to bolt in bottom end of shaft . It was a torx head in my machine. Remove bolt. Removed fuel tank mounting screws and tilt tank to side . Remove steering wheel plastic trim . Remove plastic cap over top of shaft. Remove bolt holding steering wheel to shaft. Remove steering whe el. Pull shaft upwards about half way and tilt to right side of motor and slide out of plastic guide at top. The plastic guide will flex enough to let the shaft slide out. Replace the bottom hex flange bearing. It just sets in a hex cutout in the frame. Install the new shaft . Coat the gear and bottom of shaft with grease. Coat the bottom bolt threads with anti-seize compound. Coat the top spline and steering wheel bolt threads with anti-seize compound. Install bolts and steering wheel plastic covers. Reattach deck. The front of the mower needs to be raised to let the deck drop to make it easier.

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 l arge 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

No one would want to approach this repair as I did. I tried to do it without disassembling the entire steering console, however, eventually I disassemble it and things began moving quickly. I had a really hard time getting the bolt out of the bottom of the steering shaft and had to buy an impact driver to get it out.

Would have been a easy fix but had trouble loosening the bolt at the bottom of the shaft. Something that tight should not have a screwdriver slot instead of a bolt head. Trying to loosen it rounded out right away. So I had to take the deck out from under the mower and take it loose with vice grips.took a bit of time to get it broke loose. I put it back with a bolt as it should have been designed.the rest was fairly easy.took the gas tank loose and removed the top part of the dash ,the bolts were on the inside is why I had to take the gas tank loose. Just a bolt holding the steering wheel on. Reversed procedure to put it back together. Easy job if they had a bolt at the bottom of the shaft instead of one with a screwdriver head on there. If it had a bolt head I wouldn\'t have had to take the deck off.

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.

Removed the gas tank for working space,then removed the dash and the shaft retainer to remove the steering wheel and shaft.
Replaced the gear and bushings and added the support plate that my early model did not have. This removed the play in the gear and allowed the steering shaft the fit tightly removing the looseness in the steeri ng ,when it was reassembled, it was better than new.
