My 240 seems to have a steering issue.
Are there supposed to be wheel turn limiters?
Now and then I run into a rough patch and the steering wheel virtually rips out of my hands and the inside turn tire goes to nearly 90 degrees.
Granted there is a lot of slop in the system and perhaps getting all that tightened up will help but it does seem odd that the wheels can even turn to such an angle.
Any ideas on what I can adjust to limit that angle?
As you can imagine with the wheel at 90 degrees the tractor just keeps on pushing forward and the tire doesnt turn much at that angle.
Frankly I'm surprised that the rubber has not come off the rim during those nasty excursions, and driving the tractor in the rough is like wrestling a grizzly bear in a salmon stream.
