I drag an arena twice a week and caught my front wheel on the fence and knocked the front right tire backwards jumping teeth I guess..........now she goes down the road with tires pointing at 11 and 1 o'clock going straight. What is the easiest way to put the right steering arm back into place? thanks in advance

On a 9/2N - remove the drag links from the sector arms. Move one sector arm all the way to the rear and the other all the way to the front.
Now bring them simultaneously to the center. Should be timed correctly. Reattach the drag links. Both tires should be straight ahead and the
sector arms should point to the foot rests.

so I don't have to remove the bolts of the housing/lift it up a bit and jump the gears back.......? that's what I read before.......I sure hope your way works.........thanks so much .......I didn't think you could move one sector arm without moving the other in the opposite direction.......I thought they worked together..
I have a 9N and this has happened to me multiple times. The method above has never worked. On mine I have enough drag link adjustment. When it happens again it always goes back the other way so I adjust back. I actually have it all apart right now and cannot really figure out how it does this. Not really much slop in mine. Will put in new bushings and shim together and see what happens.
I really don't get how the suggestion above would work. the sector arms are driven by gears on the same shaft. Moving one sector arm forward would drive the other one backwards. so if you try and push one forward and the other backwards to the extreme to fix the problem I would think your are only going to move them as far as the other moves in the opposite direction. One can't move farther (which would be needed to correct the problem) than the other in any direction. They don't move independently like the above would suggest. HELP
When you move the left sector arm all the way to rear, the gear is disengaged. When you move the right arm all the way forward it is
disengaged. Slowly move both arms toward the middle they re engage at the correct timing. If your gears are damaged this may not hold, but
this is you you time the steering after you rebuild one.

that's what I needed to hear ........How it works. A friend of mine who is pretty savey said "maybe the gears disengage at the extension" when I told him what you recommended. I guess he was right.........I'm going to try it today and let you know. I have been driving it for a couple months like this and its wearing out the right front tire prematurely........thank you so much....
OK I went after it........and found the right sector arm disengages in the forward position but the left arm does not disengage in the rear position......I was able to disengage the right arm just before the left arm reached the limit of its rearward position and then held the right sector arm disengaged and continued to turn the left arm a couple clicks further to the rear and then engaged the right arm and that helped alot......but I am still not exactly in alignment with the front wheels and need to do the same thing again and maybe I can get it exact.......I'm still toe out about two inchs.......
This might be a good instance to remind people that you don't hold an "N" tractor steering wheel like you're choking a snake. In other words, don't get your thumbs on the inside of the steering wheel rim.
People have wound up with broken thumbs or even a wrist when one of the front wheels suddenly tries to make a turn after hitting something and that steering wheel whips around.

True. BTDT. Only I have a habit of holding the steering wheel between my middle and ring finger on the Left. When the right wheel hit a frozen snow bank while plowing snow with a back blade, the steering wheel whipped around and really sprained my hand and fingers. OUCH! That finger's still stiff 4 years later.
