Installing the Steering Wheel (If necessary)
The hardware for attaching the steering wheel has been
packed within the steering wheel, beneath the steering wheel
cap. Carefully pry off the steering wheel cap and remove
the hardware.
IMPORTANT! Do not use impact tools to install or remove
the steering wheel. Doing so can over-torque and damage
the fastener.
1. Remove the key, attached with a cable tie to the
steering wheel.
2. With the front wheels of the tractor pointing straight
forward, align the steering wheel (a) and place it onto the
steering shaft (b). See Figure 10.

to 18-22 ft-lbs (24-30 N-m). See Figure 10.
4. Place the steering wheel cap (e) over the center of the
steering wheel (a) and push downward until it “clicks” into
place. See Figure 10.
NOTE: The hex bolt (c) securing the steering wheel (a) has thread
locker applied to it, so if it is removed, it is recommended that the
hex bolt (c) be replaced or thread lock re-applied.
