Attaching The Steering Wheel

If the steering wheel for your tractor did not come
attached, the hardware for attaching it has been packed
within the steering wheel, beneath the steering wheel
cap. Carefully pry off the steering wheel cap and remove
the hardware.
NOTE: There are two different syles of steeering wheel
caps. Styles vary by model.
1. With the wheels of the tractor pointing straight
forward, place the steering wheel over the steering
shaft.
2. Place the washer (with the cupped side down) over
the steering shaft and secure with the hex bolt. See
Figure 3-3.
3. Place the steering wheel cap over the center of the
steering wheel and push downward until it "clicks" into
place.
