In this video, we show you exactly how to diagnose and repair the most common steering issues on Craftsman T140 and similar MTD made riding mowers. The mower in this video is a Craftsman T140 (model 13AL78XT093), but the steering system is identical on many other models from: Craftsman, Troy Bilt, Yard Machines, Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Bolens, Huskee, and other MTD built mowers. What We Cover: Full inspection of the steering gear, ball joint, drag link, bushings, shoulder bolt, and spacers How to diagnose popping, grinding, tight steering, and not turning all the way What causes steering to lock up in one direction (commonly debris jammed between gear plate & gear) How to replace worn steering components for smooth turning again How to upgrade the steering bolt to a standard hex bolt for easier service later Why this issue affects so many low-cost MTD mowers and how to prevent it in the future If your riding mower only turns part of the way, skips when turning, or steers hard to one side, this guide will show you how to fully fix the problem. Applicable To These Common Models: Craftsman T100, T110, T120, T130, T140, T150 Troy-Bilt Pony, Bronco, TB30, TB42, TB46 Yard Machines 13A2775S000, 13AC762F000 Bolens 13AM762F765 And many other MTD-built riding mowers with front mounted sector gear steering systems.
