4x4.... off road.... tours parts of Oz [small parts]... so maybe not O/T?
I am yet again replacing my steering box sector shaft for the L2202DT Kubota.
Hit a drain....not too hard really and yet again the teeth snapped on part of the worm drive [sector shaft].
I'm sure that I set everything up snug, tight and in line last time I put the new one in. A suggestion is that there should be stops to prevent the wheels going further than the steering will allow.
Any other ideas?

Hi Royce
Well it certainly is an off-road vehicle ....
(I know, I have one like it (IIRC L2201 - 2 wheel drive) with slasher - nearly tipped myself into a barbed wire fence when the rear wheel dropped into a hole. I was riding that thing like an outrigger on a yacht getting out of that mess. Still laugh about it to myself - nobody will ever know ;-) ).
6 months ago went out and bought a Kubota L1-R24DT (4x4) with FEL, ROPS, Canopy and slasher. They threw in a towball link and 20 litre sprayer. Just havn't had any time to use the thing yet. Maybe this year sometime.

They are VERY unstable, specially with the FEL raised.
Sounds like your Kubota will be a good buy second hand some day... [little use].
