Steering wheel upside down

[Johnv656]

Just took delivery of my new CK2610 this past Saturday. Didn't play with it to much as I had a couple other things to take care of.

So Sunday I get it out to play around a little bit and drive around the farm and find out the steering wheel is upside down:shocked:

How hard is it to remove and turn the wheel 180 degrees. Don't want to haul it back to the dealer for just that. Or I can live with it until I need something else.

Wouldn't that just mean the emblem is upside down? It's just round with 3 spokes and same thickness everywhere correct?

Mine and my last one with hydro power steering, the steering wheel doesn't reset to center like a car. You can be driving across a slope and continually slightly turning into the hill to stay straight. My wheel is rarely oriented with the emblem at 12 o'clock when going straight. Constantly changes due to type of steering.

Agree with CMV that steering is not like it is on a car. Hydro steering wheel is not fixed and will return in a different place practically every time you drive it.
Look where the wheel is now then drive around the yard making a few lock to lock turns and when you stop with wheels pointing straight the wheel will be in a different spot.
Another way to see what I mean is while driving turn your wheel full left or right. When the wheels stop turning you can still turn the steering wheel.

Like CMV said they don't stay oriented.

Like CMV said they don't stay oriented.

Yep. My 4105 is the same.

It's the hydrostatic (power) steering... perfectly normal.

I use spinner knobs. That's when the "roaming" steering wheel is a real pain.

just watch out for the loose nut behind the wheel! :laughing:
