This item has been sourced from the original manufacturer to be used with riding lawnmowers from Yard Machines, Bolens, Yard-Man, MTD, and Troy-Bilt. The metal steering gear links the steering shaft pinion to the drag links and allows the drag links to turn the front wheels when the steering shaft is turned. This item is available as an individual replacement part.

This part is exactly as OEM.
The actual issue is the steering shaft. It is designed to fail. So this part is great if you need it.

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.
Removed both front wheel bearings. Removed hood and nose cone. Removed steering arm and gear. Removed pivot axle. Greased and replaced all broken or worn out parts. Reassembled all other parts. Steers like new.

Steering gear had started to wear out and skipped badly, Lower dash was cracking.
1. Disassembled dash and steering components. This is straight foreword but does require some time. Removing the mower deck may make this easier but I just jacked up the mower and lowered the front, leaving the back of the deck connected. The lower bolt on the steering shaft had to be heated to get it to break loose.
2. I first repl
... Read moreace the Lower Dash, then the lower components of the steering assembly. When the parts in the lower steering assembly do wear out, the spacer allowed play in the steering assembly which will cause the lower gear on the steering shaft to wear out.
3. Next the steering shaft went into place and the upper dash went back together. I used anti-seize on everything.
4. On reassemble, I replaced the lower steering shaft Phillips head screw with a standard hex bolt to make removal easier next time.
5. Next was to ensure the front wheels were centered, adjust the steering linkage and install the steering wheel.
6. Then just raise the front of the deck and reconnect the linkage. Once the mower is off the jack, check/adjust the deck to ensure it is level, it should be OK.
I do recommend having the parts book with the expanded drawings, just to reference for the parts and the locations. It is not difficult, but I still took my time with it and could have probably shaved quite a bit of time off the project it the lower steering shaft screw wasn\'t locked up and required heat to break loose. Removing the mower deck completely may also give you a little more room to work, but is not necessary. Using one of those mower jacks that picks up the front end also makes this easier but anything to raise it and block it in place will work.

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.
R and R steering gear, ordered linkage and lock nut due to linkage being wallered out also. Easy fix for DIYers, save lots a money by ordering parts and DIY. I\'m gonna go ahead and replace on other tractor too, has same symptoms, but gonna disassemble first and order all parts at one time.

Removing the old steering parts was no difficult. Getting some parts was a bit tight behind the engine. Had the tractor on jack stands so I could get under it. Downloaded the parts diagram and used it to reinstall the parts once they arrived. Centered the front wheels and steering wheel, tightened all parts and finished.
