This afternoon I was greasing my mower and noticed the steering arm slightly loose on the square part of the steering knuckle. I tried to tighten it and the arm snapped where it starts around the square shaft. The arm looks like steel, but is grainy looking in the broken area. Does anybody know if it is cast iron or not?
Since it didn't tighten on the shaft I'm thinking the shaft might be worn, too. I'll dig deeper into that when I go back to the shop.
