Pullstart 63,501 #28 Posted July 11, 2022 Keep in mind that the belt guard on normal tractors is the clutch and the lever is just the tensioner. Once you get it running, the belt MUST be 100% stopped before shifting. Never try to jam gears while the belt is moving 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,174 #29 Posted July 11, 2022 Personally, I would just cut it off. Probably faster to do that too. Just don't cut into the shaft. Again, just try a belt first and go from there. https://www.amazon.com/Maxpower-347472-Premium-Reinforced-Kevlar/dp/B0126MPE00/ref=asc_df_B0126MPE00?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80608001419701&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584207579366491&psc=1 How about a pic of the steering pin you broke? I'm not sure what pin you're referring to 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Freightliner Guy 1,334 #30 Posted July 11, 2022 I don’t got a pic sorry but it’s a pin that goes in the steering shaft all the way at the front so the steering wheel turns fine cuz there’s no pin in it so it can turn the tires 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes you can just knock out the old pieces with the new pin as you tap it in. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 17,174 #46 Posted July 12, 2022 Then someone redrilled it. The holes should all line up to hold the block to the steering shaft. It needs to go straight through the whole thing. 1 minute ago, The Freightliner Guy said: And there’s not really room for a hammer Disconnect the steering link and turn it so you can get to it from the bottom.
