tractorhogg 620 #1 Posted 6 hours ago Found a great deal on a nice D-200 and since my D-160's kohler single bit the dust. The two bolts that secure the steering column to the support bracket and are loose. I tried to get in there to tighten them, but my ratchet doesn't want to to turn the bolt enough to "catch" or the bolts maybe too short, but needless to say there's very little room. A long handle 1/4" or 3/8" drive ratchet might help. I wish I could get a air or battery powered ratchet on the bolts, not sure if there's room. I may have to remove the mid mount lift bracket to get in there, any other hints or ideas, does anyone know the size/length of the bolts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Easton Rich 985 #2 Posted 4 hours ago This steering setup is like the 953/1054 I believe. @953 nut might be able to help you out more as he seems to be well versed in these. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can the size/ length be figured out on the motor less D series in the background? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may try to remove the mid mount lift linkage, that way I can get to it and easily remove or attempt to tighten the bolts, It is possible someone used bolts to short when they restored it years ago.
