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?

. tours parts of Oz [small parts].....geez that's stretching the imagination a bit, isn't it ? LOL
Hope someone can help, I haven't got a clue. Closest I get is my sit on...hardly on topic.

Well..... I guess that the definition on 'on topic' is going to be open for definition and that the boundaries are sometimes tested.

By the same token, the 4wd [front wheel assist at least], off road, mechanical parts of the question are still fairly close to the mark. Lots of us are outdoorsy, exploring oz types and I certainly explore with my trusty [hmmm not so trusty] Kubota.

I just ordered the new part and the bloke let on that they had been having problems with a shaft that didn't suit... was 2mm shorter than required...

sure enough, I just compared the other shafts they provided and they are 2mm shorter!

At $300 each that's not nice.

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.
