Suicide Knob

I put one on my steering wheel several days ago. What a useful device. Pass the word...

As long as you have power steering they are wonderful things.

They work great on tractors with narrow front ends too.

Looks like **** finally FROZE over. I am so excited! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Dave,
I put spinners on both of my machines but the ones I have been able to get from my local dealer are either green or black with the JD logo and don't seem to fit that well on the steering wheel. I have searched the net for different manufacturers with no luck. Does anyone know of another company that makes a better spinner?

Steve,

I have a green Deere knob on my 4200 and it fits GREAT! I attached it over one of the spokes with the rounded portion of the metal base over the wheel. On the other end I placed the little black pad so that it gave me the greater amount of spacing on the spoke.

Gary,
The little black tab? No such thing on the spinners I bought. Maybe you have something different. How about a picture?

steve pull up stillwell enterprises on the web and scroll thru the different color knobs to the last one "1 inch base soft tall knob".i put one on my 4410 and it works perfectly. the ones from the deere dealers just dont fit the 4000 series steering wheels at all. only 20 bucks and includes shipping. regards bud

I picked up a green one from the Deere dealer for $10 and it's night and day difference. Very worthwhile investment [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I have a big old wooden one on a '48 A. Standard equipment I think.
