4120 Tilt Steering Issue

Yeah thanks a lot for the info & there is some good tips there. I got mine fixed. I put stronger springs on the lever you lift up to tilt it. Works a lot better now it will not budge no matter how hard you move it.

I have the same problem with my 3520. Any idea what number spring you used as a replacement? I took one off to take into town and try to find one and of course managed to lose it so now down to 1 which will be horrible trying to keep the steering wheel in place.
Thanks.

Good morning

If there is a documented problem during the warrenty and it continues after the warrenty expires is the company obligated to continue making repairs @ no cost to the customers? Or is it to bad so sad?
Have a great day

I'm not sure where you would be able to get a spring like that but my cousin had one the was a heavier grade and a little big longer. I ended up cutting the spring a little shorter and bending a new hook on the end of it. If the machine is under warranty I would get that fixed because there is a newly designed tilt steering wheel column.

Thanks for the info. My machine is out of warranty (of course) so I'll just look for something a bit stronger and try the 'bend to fit' method. Can't be worse than the original. Too bad this is such a weak point since I really like the tractor otherwise.
