My RK55HSC has developed a pretty annoying steering wheel squeak. Everything in the cab seems covered with plastic and inaccessible. I've greased what zerks there are below the tractor. The noise seems to be inside near the steering wheel. Does anyone know how to get to whatever linkage and what I should use on it?

Cabbed tractors may have a thick rubber grommet on the steering shaft where it exits the cab. On some Kubota models the grommet can make noise or cause a slight grabbing feeling if it starts binding up.

Would you try to pop that out and coat it with lithium grease?

I think I would try a silicone based lube if you think this may be your problem.
My post is really a stab in the dark though... Just something to keep in mind as a possibility.
