Edson powerknob, sweet isn't it. I've got one too. It started to squeek a while back, so I popped the cap and sprayed some lube on the bearings.

I ordered one today from northern tool. I think that I may mount it on the inside of the wheel to keep it from catching on my cuffs.
Here's an idea from a documentary on driving ATV's. Even with power steering, Hold the wheel with your thumbs not inside it. If your wheel goes in a ditch it may spin the steering wheel and break your thumb. Of course we don't speed around on tractors, but keep this idea in mind.

I hate you guys.. Afte reading this I just had to go and buy one of these knobs.. LOL

I got a green TSC model ($10), but had to make a second trip because the mounting bolts were not long enough.. I ended up buying 1.5" Stainless steel bolts with a nylon insert nuts (~$2 for both) so it wouldnt back off..

The steering wheel on the 2320 was too big/wide for the 'deep' bracket that was supplied with the spinner.. But it mounted OK with the longs bolts and the flatter bracket.

I bushhogged for about 3 hours today and the spinner is much easier to use.. BUT I can easily see myself whipping the tractor around in a sharp turn and running either the implement or fel into something..

thanks for the great tip..
