Any progress with the steering play? Would love to see some pictures to reference when my turn comes around.
No pun intended.

John Deere did an update. The large washer was changed to a thicker one. IIRC from 1/4" thick to 1/2" thick. The bolt then had to be longer too. JD also changed the torque spec from 170lb-ft to 240lb-ft.Hi Jim
Your manual solved my steering problem. There is a large bolt on the steering that someone told me I needed to tighten. I did that and it improved things but when I looked it up in the manual it said it needed 170ft/lbs. When I put a torque wrench on it, I had nowhere near that sort of pressure and it took all my strength to get it up to that. This seems to have fixed the problem and the steering is working fine now. Thanks again.
