JPWH 6,365 #26 Posted June 4, 2017 I had the same problem with my Raider. If you haven't done it already remove the steering shaft and fan gear and clean all the old grease out and put it all back together with new grease. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Withe the front end in the air, I can pretty much just flick the wheel from lock to lock with two fingers. The stock wheel horse tie rods are freely moving on the tie rod balls. It's clearly not binding on anything. The steering wheel is a 13" diameter unit just like in the easy steering C120. So I guess there's nothing *wrong* but there's certainly some difference between the two that I can't figure out? So strange.... I have the exact same experience with my 2000 314-8. All 5 of my tractors steer effortlessly when off the ground but the 314 is noticeably stiffer when on the ground and used normally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,771 #28 Posted June 4, 2017 Mike, did you check the toe-in? Toe-out can sure mess things up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikeeyre74 289 #29 Posted June 5, 2017 It's a stock front end, it's not adjustable! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,771 #30 Posted June 5, 2017 Well then it could be a waste of time but I'd still check the toe. Maybe something is bent or maybe a combination of components are out of spec all in the wrong direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
