Steering Issues

[carolinaflatworks]

I need help locating a Nut Ball assembly and Nut ball guide for a LK3504 Kioti tractor. All I am getting from Kioti is that I have to buy the entire steering assembly. I am looking for someone who may have information for alternative or parts from a tractor that is no longer in use. Pictures attached of what I am talking about.

Try MIE, Michigan Iron & Equipment. They have parts lookup schematics on their web site, or you can call them.
How'd it break?

The bolt that runs horizonal in the power steering assembly sheered. Had it welded in hopes that it would hold as that bolt alone costs $850. In the meantime, my grandson was sitting on the tractor and spinning the wheel for quite awhile. Not sure if this caused it to shift down or what. Thanks for the heads up in MIE, though. Will give it a try!
