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 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.

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.

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)

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 steer ing gears !!! Hope this helps !!!

Gear teeth at end of steering shaft worn

Tools:
Socket set, Wrench (Adjustable), Wrench set
Parts Used:
738-0919B, 741-04124
Removed steering wheel, dash panel, and bolt on the under side end of steering shaft. Removed shaft and replaced the old hex bushing on frame, installed new steering shaft. Lined teeth with front tires straight ahead, tightened shaft down to frame. Reassembled dash and steering wheel. Finished in about 25 minutes. It is not necessary to r emove the deck, if your arms are small enough. Mine was not so I only had to disconnect the deck leveling rod at the front to lay the deck on the ground. I\'m also not very fond of metal to metal bushings. So reassembly with a little Moly Graphite Grease never hurts. Do be sure to use thread locker on the under side of steering shaft, I didn\'t and spend almost an hour looking for the concave washer that goes under the mower.
