Guys, when I tighten the balljoint nut that connects to the sector gear arm to the point that it is tight, the threaded part of theball joint rubs against the tractor housing (Was like this when I got the tractor). I'm thinking that the sector gear arm must have gotten bent at some point in time. Do you think that I could heat the arm up and bend it out to the point where it does not rub the tractor housing? I believe that the arm is cast iron and am worried about breaking the arm. don't have the time or money to replace the sector gear arm. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
