Can Anyone tell me how to put my steering Box Back together. I Disassembled it to put New Bearings in it & now I can not get it back together. It seems to bind or Not go together. What am I Doing Wrong?
Any Help would be Appreciated...Thanks

Have not done that particular repair. Did you put a witness mark on the final shaft connected to steering arm? look at the attachment below. I think your problem is with the part #2,sector shaft and the balls or initial location of part#3 shaft in reference to #2. Is it bound up in one direction or both?

I Think it is too. I am going to mark it & try it w/o bearings, Until I get it right. I mashed 2 sets of bearings, trying to get it right. I Don't know if #2 should be centered on #3 or totally at the bottom of the shaft. It seems like Center should give me Both left & right turns w/o binding. Thanks for the help. I had that print out from the Newholland.com web page. Finding the bearings for cheap is my next problem. The dealer wants $60 Each for a
1 7/16" OD dia Race bearing. Little junky Bearings.

If you can identify the bearing spec the outfit linked below might be able to get the same bearing pretty reasonable. If yo have a local distributor you can simple take the old bearing there and they'll match it up for you.

I just found a 1700 with a FEL for $4600. It also comes with a rake attachment. It has 1425 hours. Good deal or not? From the pics, the tires look good.

This will be my first tractor so I have a lot to learn. I will use it for mowing about 2-3 acres and plowing a 1100' drive in the winter.

It is a good deal. A very good tractor.
