wheel horse tractor guy 0 #3 Posted April 10, 2011 Try penetrating oil with a gear puller. That always works for me and if that don't cut it off and buy a new sterring wheel :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #4 Posted April 10, 2011 Right under the dash is a collar with a set screw in it, loosen the set screw slide the collar down a bit so you can lift the lower gear up and turn the wheel to where you want it, push it back down so the gears line up, push the collar back up tight, and tighten the set screw your all set.

C-Series14 15 #5 Posted April 10, 2011 Do you mean upside down as in you are looking at the bottom of the steering wheel as you sit in the seat or what? Bring it to SW Ohio and we will put it in my 12 ton press... :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

420lse 18 #7 Posted April 10, 2011 Well u have the pin out ur half way there. Use a little pen. oil to juice it. take a scocket the size of the metal part the plastic is attached to, hit it or tap it with a hammer and when it goes slightly downward it is broke loose and you can remove it easily and turn it 180 and done copiesh.

Kevin wh314 0 #10 Posted April 14, 2011 Thanks for the great replies gang. I wasn't sure if I could get to the sleeve you mentioned without taking the WHOLE thing apart or not. I do see a cotter pin that looks like it goes through the steering column and has shims sitting on top of it. so I guess I will have a go at it that way. Thanks again for the great advise and I hope to see lots of wheel horse folks at the CT. tractor show on May 14-15 Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-Series14 15 #11 Posted April 14, 2011 The only cotter pin in the area near the steering shaft is the one on the end of the horizontal shaft that runs to the front of the tractor. The collar spoke of earlier is to keep the steering shaft from lifting up, it goes against the bottom of the hoodstand... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
