If excessive play is experienced in the steering wheel, check the pivot
bar for forward/rearward movement.
1.
Raise the front of the tractor and set it on jack stands, so the front
wheels are suspended above the ground.
2.
Grasping the ends of the pivot bar, attempt to move each end
of the axle forward and rearward to check for side play. There
should be minimal or no side play.
3.
If there is no side play, lower the tractor to the ground and have
the steering linkage inspected by your Sears Parts & Service
Repair Center. If there is side play, tighten the pivot bar as follows:
a.
Support the pivot bar, then remove the hex lock nuts secur-
ing the two shoulder bolts that pass through the pivot bar
bracket, the pivot bar, and frame. Refer to Figure 18.
