147 steering issues
 

A couple of months ago my steering box fell apart but before that i could always turn better left than right.

So fast forward to now i finally rebuilt the steering box adjusted it on the bench and still i can still turn better left then right. I tried removing the cam follower and centering the box but nope still doing the same thing.

what am i doing wrong here it must be something stupid but i can't seem to get this right.

I disconnect the drag link turn the wheel all the way to the right then all the way to the left counting how many turns to go from lock to lock. Then I set the wheel in the middle with the tires straight ahead and adjust the drag link so that it lines up in the new position. Should get you close. :beerchug:

I tried this early on and even with the drag link all the way in it's still to long.

I was thinking this morning and does anyone have the length for the factory drag link maybe this one was replaced with the wrong one at one point.

I think I read something about them being made that way so that they would turn more one way than the other to make it easier to mow. Never did understand the logic in that.

Pics would help.

:WWP:

If your mower deck discharges to the right, you will likely want to turn left around the flower beds, etc., to avoid bouncing debris off them. YT Rich.

Ask and you shall receive pics. If it was a little off i wouldn't care but just look how bad it is almost impossible to mow turning right and while snow blowing forget it can not do.

Well I see one thing wrong, you should have a rod end on the end that attaches to the steering box rather than a clevis.

That's not a clevis, it's a heim joint.

Is the forward ball joint bottomed out yet? The drag link needs to get shorter. I'm wondering if you have a WF drag link on there, as I think those are longer.
