The steering arms off the bell crank are the same length on both sies. I am assuming this is correct, or is one side supposed to be shorter. I was assuming the bell crank was centered and with both side steering arms the same length and the toe in correct, the steering would be correct. Looks like it has be oversteering to the left for a while, as one arm was slightly bent. The books just says "adjust and toe in 1/4 to 1/2 inch. [Reply]   [No Email]

Maybe someone else can answer. Do yo have any neighbors with a JD utility tractor that you could compare arm location(travel) of their tractor to yours?? [Reply]  [No Email]

Are you referring to parts key #9(previous photo) when you state "arm"??? If so did you check alignment of parts key #9 on parts key #7???????? Are parts keys #2 in this photo the same distance from each corresponding frt tire??????????? This post was edited by Tx Jim at 03:53:43 08/08/12. [Reply]  [No Email]

It's possible steering arm(parts key #9) is installed 90% off. It's also possible someone hit a hole with a frt wheel and twisted a steering spindle and then adjusted tie rods to compensate for the twist. [Reply]  [No Email]

I don't see how it could be 90' off. Is there a way to adjust the travel in the steering. I don't see any problems with the front tie rods, they are equal with correct toe-in. This problem looks to have been with this tractor for a while. It had one bent tie rod that I replaced, and the stop on the right side knee has been welded. Is there any travel adjustment in the steering column, thanks -todd [Reply]  [No Email]
