Hello Joe, thank you for your question. If you've recently hit an object, it's possible you've dislodged the gear that controls the steering system. Simply loosen the bolt that holds the steering gear in place, turn the steering wheel fully to the left and listen for the sound of the gear popping back to its rightful position. Tighten the bolt after the repair. If the gear is damaged beyond repair, it will need to be replaced. Another consequence of hitting a hard object is a dislodged ball joint. When the ball joint pops out of place, the steering suffers. Examine the mower to determine whether the ball joints are in place. The steering system bushing could also be damaged. The steering system bushing is located beneath the steering gear. To replace the bushing, remove the nut that holds the gear in place, pull the gear off the machine and remove the bushing that lies underneath it. Insert the new bushing, replace the gear and reinstall the nut. We hope this helps.
