Steering difficulty
After 12 great years of service, the steering got progressively worse. I checked eReplacementParts and found the hex flange bearing and steering gear and tie rod ends I needed very easy. In a couple hours my mower was steering like new again. Very pleased with their service and prices.

Steering was not working properly, clicking sound/ feeling on steering wheel should have been 15 minutes tops.
1. Open engine cover, after parking with the break on.
2. Remove the mowing deck.
3. Unbolted gas tank, moved to the side, not disconnecting any lines and bracing to keep intact.
4. Visually located the steering shaft location on the engine deck and location under the deck for the end of the shaft. (Here\'s where you di

5. Penetrating oil to screw.
6. Tapped with hammer.
7. Grabbed vise grips, and screw driver, yelled for neighbor to come and assist.
8. Neighbor able to turn screw that is secured between the blades of the vice grips, while I hold the steering wheel.
9. After screw removed, went to local store to replace it with hex bolt.
10. Returning to the tractor, lifted the steering wheel up to disengage the steering shaft from the engine mounts and located stripped Hex flange bearing. Discarded it to acceptable recycling.
11. Inserted new Hex Flange bearing, and re-seated the shaft through it. Reengaged the shaft to the proper hole through the tractor decking.
12. Neighbor held steering wheel, inserted the hex bolt on the lower side of the deck and tightened the hex bolt with socket wrench until it was snug and steering was again accurately engaged for action.
13. Re-secured gas tank, mowing deck and checked engine to ensure fuel lines not compromised.

Found the bearing was worn out. had to pull the cowling off and gas tank to get to it from the top. The mower deck had to come off and then have to lean the unit over to get to the steering gear underneath. Also need a big breaker bar to remove the drive pulley so the belt would go on.
