| What do you think. Would it be better to just beef up the stock steering or just make a direct steering set up? | |

| What type of tractor do you have? Craftsmans stock steering is great. MTD, not so much. It all depends. ![](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/98/54/71/separa13.png) Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

| It's a huskee. So if I remember correctly it made by mtd. Both of my linkages are bent though. The one from the 2 gears and the one connecting the 2 tires so I'm going to beef them up but I'm thinking just making direct steering if I'm going to spend the time doig that | |

| Your tie rod should be beefed up, ive bent mine on the Rally already. If you go direct steering thatll give you more opportunities to beef stuff up. ![](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/98/54/71/separa13.png) Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

| If you look up "sloppy steering" in the dictionary you will see a picture of my Craftsman LT1000. So I would def. change to all Heim's joint steering, you can even keep the "reduction gear in it" if you tighten it up. | |

If its made by mtd change it. My mtd steering is horrible. I can turn the wheel a third of the way freely without the wheels turning | |

A little bit but i dont think its enought to strip the gear. I can tight up the tie rods to make it more stifer and react quicker. | |

| I have a old old Murray and it has indestructible steering. Except it has a piece of ruber or cloth that connects the steering shaft to the main gear | |
