Hello Gentlemen,

I am selling my Super 55 and want to represent it correctly. So I need some input on the following steering condition. A Few weeks ago while using it the right front tire ran up against a tree limb in some sand and couldn't mount it, causing the steering wheel to turn all the way to the right. After that the steering wheel slipped slightly to the left when making a left hand turn, but worked fine going right. Now it slips alot to the left and still steers fine to the right. When this first started the steering wheel would knock or clunk when starting the turn to the left. I think it is just the steering wheel but could it be worse? I don't want to sell someone a serious problem nor do I want to not sell or discount the tractor too much because of a minor issue. Thanks in advance for your input.

This is a very common problem. You'll need to pull the steering box and replace both bearings on the steering shaft. Less than $50 fix.

Thanks for the information. Where can I get these bearings or what will I need to know to order them?

Try Maibach's in Creston OH. Ask for 550 steering shaft bearings. That's where I got mine. You may have a local dealer that can order them as well.

I had a Super 55 once, and had lots of trouble with the steering because it had a loader on it. Your problem is in the steering box; there's a bearing that climbs up and down a screw in there that gave me lots of grief. We have an excellent Oliver dealer, and he fixed it for me about three times. But I saw the tractor sell years later, and there was over a turn-and-a-half of play in the steering wheel, so by that time it was shot.
