The Steering Gear and Steering

Raise the front of the LT1042 lawn mower by setting it on jack stands. Once it's propped up, crawl under it to inspect the steering gear as well as the low end of the shaft. Wiggle the steering gear in order to be sure that it's secured properly. You'll know that it needs to be refastened if the gear moves vertically.

Check the bottom of the steering shaft for missing teeth or any potential breaks, and replace any missing or broken parts. Also, inspect the upper part of the shaft that's under the hood of the mower and the lower steering shaft for any bends that may be stopping it from steering correctly.
Steering Connections

Inspect all of the steering connections to make sure they're tight. Check the spindle-to-drag link connections and the drag link-to-steering gear connections. Also, be sure to check the steering gear-to-steering shaft connection and the steering wheel-to-steering shaft connection. All of these parts should have no less than 20- to 35-foot pounds of torque on them. If there is more than that amount, replace any necessary parts.
