I had locked up spindles on my MTD, but it had sat in the woods for several years before I rescued it. Greasing solved the problem, but I am going to replace the bushings anyway.
What in the world happened to my steering?
I don't have time to tear into it tonight... but I parked my GT steering fine a couple of days ago... went to move it last night and it took all I could do to steer it, and I am not a lightweight.
I looked for the obvious, anything stopping the steering wheel gear from meshing with the pitman arm (or what ever it might be called on a tractor).
No obvious blockages.
I will:
Jack it up.
Disconnect the steering connector arm and see if it's the wheels/front end causing the problem...
But has anyone had this happen?
I've been meaning to grease the front end but I don't have a grease gun that will fit it... I keep forgetting to pick one up.
Could it be something that simple that quickly???
There doesn't seem to be any visible breakage anywhere.
