What's the best way to replace steering shaft, What to remove. Thanks. Might just start removing parts till it comes out. Just didn't want to learn the hard way. Thanks

I'm not sure but here is a link to the part, I think, at Rural King.

3225 Ok, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Removed plastic cover on steering wheel removed nut holding wheel on. Came off easy. Then removed two bolts holding on tilt wheel lever then two bolts at bottom of shaft which were the hardest to take off, but not that bad. Had to replace shaft because of it being bent. I had just purchased the tractor. Looks like it was rolled, hood was broke I did a repair on that,also belts for pto replaced. Runs good, mower sounds good and quite.Still need to do a lot of service work on it, It's not pretty but will the job done, I've had a 3165 for 18yr, Its getting a little tired. I have 700 hrs on it. That's why I got this one. only has 356 hrs.Now I just picked up a 3206 which has the three levers for the plow or snow thrower Has the bracket on the front. I got it running, sounds good, now to get the hdy to work, won't go forward or reverse, no power to steering and mower lift. Hoping not to be major job and money.
