My 2012 dk40se steering wheel keeps changing its orientation only while using it, it's like it's stripped on the splines that the wheel bolts down on,I tighten the nut under the kioti cap .I hope it's not a gear that the steering rides on somewhere, funny thing is when I have tractor off the steering wheel stays tight. If anyone has a drawing view of that area I would really appreciate it, thanks

Does your tractor have an HST transmission?

It has hydrostatic power steering, the steering wheel orientation can and will change during use.

Hydrostatic power steering doesn't have a solid gearbox, it is a fluid powered system.
Your suicide knob will end up in a different position every time you use the tractor.
Completely normal.

Yep, what Vince said. That’s why I asked if it was HST. All normal, sort of…..
