Al C. 1,428 #1 Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) I replaced the steering wheel / fan gear mount on my Wheel Horse SK-486 today. The old mount had wallowed out horizontally over time creating slack in the steering wheel. The new mount cuts out about two inches of left-right play. I would never have guessed that little bit of wear would account for so much play! Edited August 27, 2022 by Al C. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,327 #2 Posted August 27, 2022 An upper bushing machined and press into the top of the lower steering block makes a HUGE difference... and the added undercuts on the shaft to hold grease... 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Al C. 1,428 #3 Posted August 27, 2022 Wow!!!! Great solution! I wish it wasn’t just a little bit beyond my grade level. Nice work! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
