Great video! I did this repair on my lawn tractor for almost 10 years ago and it helped a lot on the handling of my lawn tractor. I think it would have been better if these bushings was made of aluminum compared to plastic because then they would have been more durable and lasted way longer than they do.

Well done, it’s nice to see I’m not the only one trying to keep these things going!

It’s shocking to see how many people are fixing the really old ones up again and not buying the new junk 😮😮😮

I need a couple of the big washers 😊

great job and great video, don't forget to put wafer washer on them spindles

Thanks for the video. Another video he was removing the side panels which maybe isn't so necessary.

Thanks for the tutorial. My gears were bad so one week to get parts. Im doing all bushingspper and lower and the steering linkage bushings too plus drive pulley's and belt. Can't wait!

You had better luck getting that gear removed. Put blaster on mine to get rid of the rust , letting it sit , see if I can slide it over enough to get that part off

I will say, I was fortunate that there weren't any parts stuck or seized together. Also if you are still having trouble, a mix of acetone and ATF is better than any off the shelf thread penetrator.

I also did not mark where the two gears meet (1/2 moon and the shaft gear) where approximately should they be alligned when wheel are straught forward? Thanks - should have watched your video before I replaced all stearing parts, did not realize those 4 bolts could be removed from under carrage, near impossible from top side. Thanks Again / Jerry

Good time to a manual fuel cut off valve in fuel line

Nice work, it bothers me about mine , now it won't anymore, thanks

Well done video, thank you.

Noticed what?

Yeah that's great. Have fun doing it every 2 years as we have had to do. Having that PLASTIC shaft support there in what is already a sloppy mounting is an absolute garbage idea and execution. It's made what has been an otherwise reliable tractor into a headache. Just a stupid design.

Are you hard steering it a lot, steering at a dead stop and/or using it on rough terrain? Forcing the wheel is going to strain the components more, running into things add additional wear tear.

No not really but my property is significantly oversized for this smaller mower, I made it work for years until I upgraded, just ended up putting a ton of hours on it.

​@@TwoFourSevenDIYI broke the steering gear, the large wing gear, forcing a parts mower steering wheel. I was trying to get room for a jack and destroyed the gear. I had no idea you could shatter it like that in the side spline shaft input of that gear. Toast. The newer set-up is better, I think they introduced that in 2004.

THE GREASE WILL ATTRACT DIRT

Sure. But a dry bushing is never a good thing. Everyone has their own way of doing things. I always grease bushings like this with very favorable results. If you get good results from not greasing, then keep doing what works for you 👍

Garage door lube may be better and attract less dirt. It's available at Menards and Lowe's and other stores in an areosol spray.
