I have a strange one. The ps suddenly stopped working to turn left, but would turn right. I tried to drive it out of the field but then the steering stopped completely. ....would not turn either direction.
Reason....It turns out that the snap ring that holds the pedestal shaft in the ps pedestal had broken and allowed the shaft to drop down an inch so inside the pedestal. Then the tie rods hit the axle cradle and stopped the motion of the wheels.
I need to put the pedestal shaft back in place and install a new snap ring.
Question: Is there anything unique or odd about this situation, and can I just push the pedestal shaft back up into place and install the new snap ring? I see on a drawing that there are gear teeth inside the pedestal how do they align?
Thanks for sharing your experience with me.
