Installing The Steering Wheel Assembly
If the steering wheel assembly for your tractor did not come
already installed, follow the steps below:
1. Slide the pedestal cap onto the steering shaft so that when
the steering shaft is installed on the tractor, the pedestal
cap will be upright as shown in Figure 3-1.
2. Remove the shoulder bolt and lock nut from the steering
shaft and retain for later steps.
3. With the steering wheel assembly upright and positioned
over the lower steering shaft on the tractor, align the
steering wheel so that with the tractor wheels straight, the
large opening on the steering wheel is facing forward.
