MF 50 steering wheel and turning adjustments

Jim Gorter · Feb 4, 2013

Got the MF50 running on Sat. Needs a new steering wheel. Deep dishtype with power steering. also machine turns sharp to the left,shallow to the right. Any way to readjust the turning limits? Thanks, Jim.

Someone must of had your steering apart in the past and didn't get it aligned right there is a worm drive or (cork screw)That moves the pitman arm you may get lucky and just have to remove that to get it aligned do you have the manual for that model it might help.

Trac, Thanks for the reply. I have a Owners manual but it doesnt go that deep. I will look closer at the front control arm to see if its been adjusted too much one way. JIm.

Jim just look at the pitman arm thats on the steering box with the wheels strait that arm needs to be strait up and down if not that arm must be a few teeth off.

The arm coming off steering box has to be lined up with marks on gear box. Clean if you don't see marks(line).

Trac and miner, Thanks for the info. I will try to reset the pitman arm and see if the turning angles even out. I think the steering was modified so the machine could make sharper left turns in the avocado orchard where it worked. On the splined shaft, are there allignment splines or just same splines on diameter of shaft? Thanks, Jim.
