Being that the wheel is more deeply dished, I knew a person would have to get creative with getting that style to work. I see you added a spacer to get it to work. I will have to figure out something to try in the near future.

Had to do the same thing on the Toro Mower. Used hard rubber here also:

Anyone know of a decent quality knob that is not tractor specific. I do not want to piss off my LS and put on a JD or Kubota knob.

I have this one on my Kioti and am pleased with it.
Any of the autoparts store ones I tried were all designed for a thicker wheel than what my tractor has, and I never could get it tight enough so it didn't flop around. This one fits just right.

Never heard of these called suicide knobs. Know where that came from? I put one on my NX and now don't think I ever touch the steering wheel any more. Can't imagine not having one.

As mentioned I believe that term from earlier days when used in non power steering vehicle use. Having a steering wheel snap back (spin with great force) that knob would break thumbs.

This is the one I have.

A spinner knob with power steering is so sweet! Mowing with this thing is real nice, driving around trees and such, it's great. Real nice to have when using the loader or backing up with the backhoe or whatever.

Yes, the position of the knob can move around on the wheel with power steering, but you could nudge it back to where you want it by turning the steering wheel past the turned wheels.

Btw, I dunno why my link points to ebay on this website, it's an amazon link.

Those suicide knobs have been outlawed in most states for vehicles driven on the roads, especially tractor trailers!

Actually quite legal in a road going car or truck too. I call them 'Polish Power Steering Knobs'....:laughing:
