Electric Steering Failure

[GTSRider]

Yes, ever since fast Eddy took it over as a tax write off for his investment firm, he has slowly bled it dry.

Follow up...... Sears replaced all power steering components with new....
electric motor, transmission, and control module. Steering is now better than I remember with original unit.
I suspect that unit is an update, with improvements. Bill was close to $1,000.00 , but I paid nothing.
Warrantee expires May 2018.....hope this unit is good for many years now. We shall see.

I would get it fixed and sell it fast. If it broke now and is so expensive I can envision breaking again after the warranty is off then you will be really stuck.

Wow, you are one lucky SOB. I'm so glad that Sears came thru on the warranty and now you are good to go.

Thanks....so am I ! ....ran it today and noticed steering wheel is off...turned at 5 after 12:00 oclock....
no big deal, but aggravating to see steering wheel turned to the right when tractor is going straight.
Going to call or email Sears, right now, and have them straighten it out. When power steering went out , I heard
it skip a few gears in the steering box , and that's what caused it ,I suspect.
