He dennis. Thanks so much for this video. Just did this to mine, went smooth, saved me much money comapred to sending it to a pro. One tip I doscovered. Hammering down the bushing was tough, so I took a 1" scrap of pvc pipe, cut it to a slight bevel to match angle, slipped it over the shaft and it worked great.

I just bought a YTH22V46 like yours. I have sub'd and you will be my "go to Guy" for any problems I will have. Before I picked up my tractor from Lowe's, which was already put together, I asked the salesman if he bled the hydrostatic transmission before he drove it out. He looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. Anyway, before I picked up the mower after I ordered it(took two weeks to get to the store) I already watched many of your videos. Keep up the good work. You are a very good "teacher". Skip

I had the same rattle / free play on mine too .... I solved it by taking off the steering wheel and putting a large O-ring down over the plastic splined part the wheel fits down on .. while the end bushing you show can cause some wobble .. the play in the wheel does most of it .. A good way to get the bushing you illustrate down is to use a pipe or tube down over the whole steering shaft .. easy way to apply even pressure ... Thanks for the videos. very helpful

Dennis, you need to buy a lower steering shaft support/bushing and mount it up top in place of the crapy plastic bushing that is sloppy even when new. And your steering problems are over!

@thelistener4101 4 года назад

Hello Dennis, thanks for another informative video on the YTH22V46. Keep up the good work. FYI - a competitor channel to yours offers up a "work around" for secure placement of the bushing: they created a "push pipe" by using a 1" conduit pipe (of adequate length) with one end cut to a 30 degrees angle to put against the bushing while easily tapping the pipe's other end to complete the bushing installation. That conduit pipe is then a keeper for future use on this yard tractor or possibly others to include a "loaner tool" for neighbors. Hope an "edit" to this video can be possible to help other DIY fixers. Best regards for your maintenance support.

@dwcoffey 4 года назад

Thanks for watching! I actually thought about doing that with a piece of pipe but decided not to since I only had one to do. If I had more than on e to install, I would definitely do it that way!

@billsimpson604 Месяц назад

If you are sure the steering wheel is in the correct rotational position, you can take up much of the play with some hot melt glue in the gap. That stuff sticks to anything clean and dry pretty well. I strengthened the wheel covers on my 2000 Ford Expedition with some. I washed them and went around the entire inside with a bead of it. They are made in 2 pieces which can eventually come apart. If that happens, you are out $50 for each one, if Ford still has any available, which I doubt. Hot melt works quite well on anything which doesn't get hot. You can warm the parts if you have big pieces to assemble. That will give you time to get them in position before the stuff cools too much. Of course, the parts must be perfectly clean and dry for it to work. If you need to take stuff apart, just warm the parts with a heat gun until the glue softens.

Hey sir. I checked my wheel. I'm in Canada and have a metal like gear connected to the steering wheel but same plastic wheel. Same issue, a lot of play. Figured out it's nylon wear on the wheel. I added 1 strip of gorilla tape around the metal hub and all good now.

@dwcoffey 3 года назад

Thanks for watching, Don! It's hard to say since Husqvarna didn't include covers on the YTH22V42 deck spindles. The size of the spindles and pulleys are very similar to the YTH22V46, so you could probably drill a few holes and make those covers work.

@gittyupalice96 3 года назад

I believe the teeth for the steering wheel mount serve the purpose of clocking the wheel for dead straight. After you've used the mower a little while to break in the tie rods and such you could just glue the two pieces together.

@dwcoffey 3 года назад

Thanks for watching! Yes, the hub has teeth on the OD and a hole on the ID to match the shaft shoulder, so that's what ties the wheel to the shaft. Turns out the play is not between the teeth in the hub and the grooves in the wheel, but more between the hub hole and the steering shaft. I still haven't fixed it though....hahaha!

@dwcoffey 6 дней назад

Thanks for watching, Ray! My first guess would be the cracking is from this steering bushing. I'd suggest to open the hood, look up underneath the dash where the steering shaft comes thru and turn the wheel side to side to see if you can determine where the noise is coming from. If it is between the dash and the steering wheel, the problem will most likely be this bushing.

@dwcoffey 4 года назад

Thanks for watching, Nicholas! I don't see any need to grease the hub in the center of the steering wheel. It doesn't move on another part, so I don't think lubing it will help anything. The bushing itself is more of a friction fit, so probably not worth lubing it either, but a littler white lithium grease or something light, would hurt anything.

@dwcoffey 3 года назад

Thanks for watching, Nicholas! Yes sir, I think that would work fine for wear in the teeth. I suppose if the wear is really bad, a strip cut from rubber tire tube would also work. I have found on mine that the excess play seems to come from a gap between the toothed gear and the back side of the steering wheel. I'm not sure how that gap has developed because there is no sign of wear on the two mating surfaces. So....I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to try a large fender washer either between the wheel and the gear and/or behind the gear.

Hi Dennis, I just started this project thinking it would be easy after watching your video. Turns out my Husqvarna YTH18K46 has a metal-like steering wheel adapter. I cannot get that adapter off the shaft. I tried WD-40 to perhaps loosen it up since it is about 8 years old and tried just prying it with a little force, even pulling on it. Nothing works to get that adapter off. The adapter has little teeth of its own on the inside diameter. Yours was quite different having just to pull it off.

@dwcoffey 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching, Perry. Interesting. The diagrams I have for the YTH18K46 show a similar adapter to mine, with two flats on the ID that match the end of the steering shaft. I've never seen one of these with splines on the ID. You should be able to take a dead blow hammer, or a soft faced hammer and tap on the bottom of the adapter to get it off the shaft.

Woah there. Just a heads up. My parts list shows the same PN for my WHITE colored bushing. And that same number is MOLDED IN THE SLOPPY WHITE BUSHING. BUTTT! If you order that number today you will get a BLACK BUSHING that has a center hole TOO LARGE FOR THE SHAFT!!! To get the CORRECT fitting bushing to replace your WHITE colored bushing you need to order pn ENDING IN 228 AND NOT 227! The HUSQVARNA parts center knows nothing about this and will only direct you to order the 227 number. It was very frustrating for me but Amazon does list the white part ending in 228 if that is the one you require.. I hope this helps?

The easiest way to change this bushing is to heat it up with a torch for 2-3 seconds Slides right in!!!!!!! That was she said lol

Mine has 178 hours, and the warranty just expired. Now of course the wheel wobbles.

Never fails....some things are engineered to only last as long as the warranty plus one day.

Use a shop vac, clean out the mouse house

Good idea!

Good video on how to replace that part, but it looks like it accomplished nothing as the steering wheel appears to still wobble and be loose which is the problem with mine, you make some great videos, but this one does not fix the problem you started with, you also said you would address the wobble with the wheel in another video, I have yet to see that, you kind of end the video skipping over the fact it did not fix the original issue you started with.

Thank you for watching! Replacing this bushing did fix the original problem....the steering _shaft_ was loose. It did not fix the problem of the steering _wheel_ being loose. I have not yet made a video showing how to fix the steering wheel problem.
