Bad, Very Bad...

Rather worn, very worn!

We're talking about a steering shaft assembly and a sector gear for a 2000 Craftsman lawn tractor.

The "teeth" on these parts were pretty worn out, so much so that the I was unable to steer the tractor. The steering wheel just spun round and round and round. The timing was good, sort of, in that my brother was up for a visit and helped removed these old parts. However, the replacement parts arrived after he returned home but in the end I was able to install the new parts and reassemble all that was removed with only one "extra" part, a washer. Let's hope it wasn't too important...

My reward for fixing the lawn tractor was 3+ hours of getting to sit on it while I mowed (3) lawns, UUGH!
