My 2-85 has a steering issue it seems. When you turn hard and back up, the front wheels will, as I call it, fold in, in that they will turn very short and drag. It happens turning right or left. I've never seen this on my 1755 or 1855 and I cannot figure out what is going on with it. The 2-85 doesn't seem to turn as short as those other two going forward, but it almost always does it when backing up sharply. Any ideas on what is going on with it or is it just normal for this?
I've changed tie rod ends and I made sure that 1.) the tie rods were the same length and 2.) that the toe in is per spec. I know of no "stops" under there. I'm also pretty confident that there is no issue with the cylinder support "strap" as I've had that problem on the 1755 before.
Any thoughts on this from you all? I'm sure I'm putting a lot of stress on the front end dragging those wheels like that when mowing and such. I know that the tractor did it when I bought it and I've only had it for 10 months or so.
thanks
