| Ackerman is right. Direct steer won't work. Need another connecting spot on your king pin for drag link. Should be a good diagram on here somewhere. | |

The diagram works fine in the original configuration. Basic go kart stuff. I'm stumped here. I see nothing wrong. What, the first diagram OP drew? There's a lot wrong with that one. Steering backwards, don't get full motion range. | |

| I guess that's a matter of perspective. If you're silly enough to take it as a scale technical drawing... Maybe. Maybe not. | |

| ok. I polished things a bit, and clarified some stuff. Really, it's the same thing, just interpreted. Anybody? Mine on the left, original on the right.  | |

| Okay, finally got some time to post what I think needs to happen. On left, is a simplified version of what Doc posted, what I would call go-kart/ATV steering. Two tie rods connected to one or two pitman arms in the middle. Works great, but usually we have an engine in the way. On the right is what works for front engine mowers. Steering column is not shown, because it is straight up and down for this simple drawing. It uses an extra connection to the spindles to get the steering hooked up.  | |
