Did you go to move your 30 inch riding mower and when you turned the steering wheel it would not do anything?
We go through a Craftsman 30" rear engine rider that this is happening to and show step by step how to fix the issue
We check out and find the issues with this small riding mower that clicks when you try to turn it.
If your mower will not steer or turn right or left this will take care of the problem
The steering is off center and does not steer like it should and mostly the wheels will not turn.
Most times this will fix the riding mower steering problems on any 30" model made by MTD for Cub Cadet, Troy Bilt, Yard Machines Craftsman, MTD or Murray
Includes models TB30, TB30B, TB30R, R110, RER1000, CC30H and MANY others
We go over the complete diagnosis and repair process to look out for when doing this
We show how to replace and hook up the battery on a 30 inch riding mower also

An excellent video showing how to adjust the brakes would be helpful. You might also show how to replace the brake pad.
Good tip! I will put it on the list!
Unfortunately, it’s in the nature of steering units like that - they’re in an environment where dust and debris will accumulate on them and wear out parts. The only way to avoid that would be to have a completely sealed unit which isn’t in this price point design. I’d probably use chain lube and include that as part of regular maintenance and service rather than any kind of grease because chain lube is designed not to allow anything to adhere to it.
Could work better. The major problem they have is that the cheap metal used for the guide plate mounting wears out because of the major pressure put on it and doesn't keep the plate close enough to the gear so the gears strip. I honestly don't think anything would help with this for the design
I believe I noticed that the two carriage bolts came through oval or elongated holes. I wonder if setting the tie rods in place prior to final tightening of all three bottom fasteners would allow the entire mechanism to align straight across, thereby eliminating as much friction in the assembly as possible. That tightening would be done after the wheels were aligned perfectly front to back, parallel with the frame.
They are fixed square holes and the middle hole can only come through in one spot. These would come away from the steering gear even easier if they allowed adjustment here in my opinion
I personally would not put that much grease on the steering rack. Grease draws dirt. Dirt and grease make an abrasive paste. The new parts will wear out faster. Just my thoughts.
I could agree with either way honestly. Grease equals more dirt accumulation and less or none equals more friction, so I just go with what they tell us on this one
Wont all that grease just make more grass stick there and lead to another demise?
Better to be lubricated and have some debris in it than have friction is what they say. I have been torn both ways but think the grease probably does a little better than not greasing it
Thanks again. I suppose the only thing worse than having a shop full of mowers, is not having a shop full of mowers. :) Better busy than bored!
Definitely so! Gets to be that time of year in a few months where you can take a breath and make improvements and plans for the next year. We never want it to come but something that always does in this area no matter how big you are
So talented! And very informative step by step. Thx
Thank you for your kind words of support!
Great job. We might not have the same units, but we can use your techniques. Thanks.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Nice work, I am surprised that the pins that attach to the wheels don't have washers under the clips to help with wear and make them a little tighter. Thanks for a great video.
I agree, don't think there is even enough room with where the hole is but these pins get worn out over time for sure
Man!!!!!,,,,You show some good stuff!!!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate that!
Good evening, nice video, thanks
Hey there! I appreciate your comment, have a good day!
Another Good Video!
I appreciate that!
Nice job Martin on the repair but once I get past counting to 3 I'm lost. 😲🙂
Haha! I am telling you I still don't think I know how many tabs it has!
🤣👍🏼🤣
It amazes me how that manufacturers design everything so that it is just barely adequate to get the job done.
they definitely love to get it done cheap as possible and everyone wonders why they have issues!
Back in the day things were built to a standard, now they're built to a price point,
@@johncates5081 Definitely could not agree with you more!
Another awesome video 📹!!!! Thank you!!!
I appreciate that!!
