Default Final note on the power steering

I did my first mowing today and although the CC steered very well it was not the twirl and go I had expected. I watched the spindle on each side to see if it hit the steering axle stop and they did not. That meant that stroke of the ram was not enough to reach the two stops. I grabbed a couple of wrenches and moved the ram spindle bolt to the outer hole which is about a 1/2 inch away, or closer to the wheel, and boy did that change everything! The steering is very quick now and the spindles hit the stops as they should. Who would have ever dreamed that a 1/2 inch could be that important?
