520 hits tree

jdman(MO) · Oct 4, 2012

A friend called me to look at his 520 which rolled down a hill and hit a tree. Roll a matic is now pointed toward the rear. Steering turns a little to the left but not right at all. What can I expect? Russ

Power steering?

A good friend of my hit a tree with his 70. Same issue, turned all the way to the left by itself and we couldn't get it back to the right. Found the wormgear housing was broke where the rear brg race seats in it. Allowed the shaft to go back, actuating the steering valve. Old guts into a new/used housing with new seals and it works better than ever. Id say he got off cheap.
