Brent B. Crafstman Lawmower Tractor Steering is sticking Model # 917273070

The steering is sticking on my Craftsman Lawnmower tractor, especially when steering straight ahead. I bought a new steering bushing for it since the man at sears parts said it was likely the problem. I have also replaced the sterring arm. How do I remove and replace that sterring bushing? The model number is 917273070.

Thanks, Brent

Go to partsdirect.com and enter your model number. You will be able to view a diagram of how the steering parts go together.

Husqvarna YTH2348 Riding Mower stopped mowing, now won't even start.

mowerwoes on May 08, 2012

Series of events today: mowed for 1.5 hours...all great. Had to back up at one point, so pushed Attachment Clutch Knob 'in', backed up, pulled Attachment Clutch Knob 'up' to engage mowing blades, and NO engagement. Engine running fine, drove tractor back to house to inspect mower. Let mower cool down (45 minutes), checked mower belt (looked good), blades (to see if anything was obstructing) all looked good. Thought I needed to get a better look underneath, and tried to start tractor to move it up on ramps......mower now will not start. Pulled back hood and saw fly wheel turn almost 360 degrees, stop, clicking all the time. Checked Husqvarna Owner's Manual, Troubleshooting Points and did the following: 1. Replaced fuse 2. Replaced spark plugs (2). One month ago did Spring maintenance on mower (replaced oil, new oil filter, new fuel filter, new air filter, new blades, but didn't change spark plugs, so changed them now.) 3. Note; the Gauge Hourmeter comes on and stays on during whole process, so thinking battery is ok. (If I need to go and buy a tool to check battery level, might as well as buy new battery (think it's 4-5 years old, so maybe it's time. Normal start-up is on second turn of key, always a slow start. 4. Checked oil; ok. 5. Fuel level ok, but added more, fresh fuel(hoping to continue to mow.) 6. Looked at wiring and wiring diagram in manual, see no obvious problems, but not a mechanic so...who knows. 7. Other possibilities listed: faulty solenoid or starter, ignition switch, but how does one check to see if they are faulty? Remove them and look for what? 8. Checked mowing belt and it's taut, not loose as I recall when removed mowing deck a month ago. Can move belt manually, but read that idler pulley or blade mandrel could be 'frozen.' how does one find out if either are frozen? Checked Husqvarna website, this website, Googled multiple descriptions and don't know what else to do. Husqvarna website takes at least a month for a reply. Checked other posts to see if anyone else had similar problems, and a variety of problems are listed along with solutions. don't know what to do next...can anyone help? Thanks.....Read More
