Greetings- Just yesterday, I stupidly drove my 122's left front wheel into a Catalpa tree in front of my house at very low speed.The result is not being able to turn right, the tractor will only turn to the left now. I jacked it up and did a quick visual inspection and could not see anything bent or broken, so I thought perhaps I had damaged the steering box internally. I removed and then took the steering box apart and thoroughly cleaned and re-greased the unit and then reassembled it and found no evidence of damage. At this point I took a look at my partially disassembled 102 and noticed that the drag link arm on the 102 was pointing to the 1:00 or 2:00 o'clock position with the wheels pointing exactly forward. I then observed the crashed 122 and noticed that it's drag link arm was in the 3:00 o'clock position (parallel with front axle ) when the wheels are pointing forward. This is what puzzles me, the drag link arm appears to be made out of two pieces of metal, the "arm" and the round "hub". But how are these two pieces held together and could the arm have pivoted on the hub without bending anything? I don't want to proceed any further until I figure out how this "drag link" is held together as I don't want to damage it. Any ideas, comments or suggestions? Thanks, Paul
