PERFECTION
I needed a part for an 80's HECHINGER lawn tractor and found your website. You had the exact replacement part (steering arm ball joint) which arrived quickly, and I was able to install within 10 minutes. I am so happy to have this tractor running again, and I am really glad I found YOU! Thank you so much! Jim

Remove the front wheel, then remove the the ball joint from the axle by removing the nut and washer. Then thread the ball joint from the tie rod. Install the new ball joint to the tie rod. Lining it up so it will slip right into the axle. Place the washer on, then tighten the nut. Then reinstall the wheel assembly.
