2014 BX1870 Steering Frame Broke

Finally getting to the point where it's going back together. Had to remove the radiator to get to the lowest nuts on the backside by the radiator.

Wow, that looks like a lot of work!

JimBinMi -- you are doing a great job of illustrating the things I hope I never have to do...

Yep that looks perfect when you have almost every tool out of the tool box, that means it has to be time for reassembly.

Back in business for under $300. Lots of time but feel accomplished.

My guess it happens when one uses the steering wheel to pull yourself up on the tractor. My wife does that on our BX22. I've replaced the steering wheel once because of that practice.

Forgot to mention that when I got it apart the power steering pump was missing 1 of the 4 bolts.

Out of curiosity, how long did it take you?
