Anyone know of the fix for no steering on a 1994 LB1914 4x4 the steering wheel free spins and the front wheels barely turn and then when you do get them to turn they will return to the nuetral position. JT

I have a lb2204 and just ran into the exact same problem. posted on tractorbynet but not much help there yet. did find a post about a yanmar tractor having similar problem and the parts diagram for the yanmar looks just like my kioti. do you have a hyd cyl linking onto the steering arm? i have one but couldnt find it anywhere in my parts manual either under steering or hydralics. good luck. i dont think this will be an easy fix ....
