Got a steering problem with a 2210B. Without any warning or indication that anything was wrong I suddenly lost steering. Steering wheel turns with no resistance in both directions with no stops and the steering shaft turns (the part that is visible when the steering column cover in the center of the wheel is removed) but the pitman arm does not move.
My service manual indicates that I need to disassemble a mess of parts including the fuel tank to get to the problem. Looking at the parts manual (I expected to find a sheared pin or key missing) there apparently is an “old type” and “new type”. I got rained out before I could disassemble the steering wheel so I don’t know yet what I will find when I get the wheel off. I see there is a “key” listed in the parts manual just below the bolt that holds the wheel on. I do not understand what the function of the key really is. Was hoping someone who have had a similar problem might respond with what they found or what your best guess is the problem. Thanks. John P.
