XLT 13 #1 Posted September 5, 2019 Is the steering gear on the the 701 (and others I guess...) cast iron? It was cracked... I welded it, and it cracked again, right on the edge of the weld. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stepney 2,354 #2 Posted September 5, 2019 Yes,cast iron. And those earlier ones are a bit more prone to breakage. If you do it right, you can usually braze them up pretty well. Depending where it broke it wouldn't hurt to pin or thread it too. That's how I do them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
