Howdy,
I'm a brand new member, and this is my 1st post. Just bought this old B8200 3 weeks ago, and it had a 3/4 steering wheel free spin. Today while shredding, the steering quit turning left (wouldn't make a good NASCAR tractor!). I've researched the problem and know that the gears and other parts are worn out and what caused that (plugged weep hole in steering column, wear on the bushing, and then water in the steering box). What I'm digging into now is whether I should buy the parts and rebuild it, or buy a new steering box if it is still available. Does anyone have any suggestions including where to buy the parts or the steering box? Thanks.
