Wonky steering

[zzvyb6]

This steering problem is called 'toggling'. Goggle some fixes. Tie rod may be too short which pulls in the inside wheel too much. I doubt the steering gear is at fault because its more of a geometry problem than a slop problem, unless the slop in the kingpin axes.

Look up Ackermann steering.

Those references where handy.
I think I can eliminate the steering gear as it seems fine.

I think the problem is a combination of slop at the steering kingpin, my non-stock tires (Car Tires) mounted wrong way around(fill valve on the inside) and perhaps I need a bit of toe in set at the tie rod.

I'll need to try my wheels to see if they can mount the proper way around. If not I may see if I can find some compact spare type wheels and see if they could fit better.

Then some toe in and take a look at the kingpin to see if its got an issue.

Found this, I suppose the 240 probably doesn't have them either. YM2 Location of steering stop on axle? - Yanmar Tractor Support Message Board

Thanx Winston. Missed that.
