Landlord 314 steering question


Recommended Posts

Posted
The steering gears in my 314 Landlord are getting sloppy and uses the old style cast iron "bearings" for the steering gears. The only "current" part numbers that I can find are for a totally different (and I assume newer) system. Does anyone know if the original parts are still available new or am I better off to look at other options? Any help is greatly appreciated. Kraig

Check the availabilty of the part number on Jacks` website. I have seen where there website says they are no longer available and you call a dealer and you can still get them. The bushings are available still. I have been through this with that dealer in Paw Paw before with a friend of mine. We ended up going to another. He likes to sell the new stuff and doesn`t seem interested in selling parts for the older stuff. http://www.jackssmallengines.com/ If you can`t find anything send me a email or PM, I maybe able to help. I would have given you the part when you bought the tiller off of me if I had known.

Any competent machine shop could probably make up a set of bronze bushings for you as well. I had them made for an old Ford LT110 lawn tractor I have and they worked perfectly.

You can tighten the system by adjusting the end screws and lubricating the "bearings". I checked on parts and found I could get them however when I disassembled the steering I could not see that new "bearings" were going to provide any significant improvement.

Check with your local bearing supply house. If they don't have the bronze bushings you need they should be able to order what you need. Ken
