Additional Information

The MTD Lawn Tractor Steering Rack Kit, part number 753-11064B, replaces part numbers 731-13477A, 753-11064, 753-11064A, 783-06988A, and 783-09629. It restores precise steering control by linking the steering shaft to the left and right steering rods and ensures the wheels respond accurately to operator input.

This kit includes the lower steering bracket (783-09629), rack support (731-13477), steering rack plate (783-06988A), pinion gear, two nuts (712-04064), one nut (712-04063), and two cotter pins (714-04040). These parts work together to reduce steering play and improve responsiveness.

If your tractor is hard to turn, pulls to one side, or feels loose at the wheel, the steering rack components may be worn or damaged. Replacing the entire kit helps eliminate excessive play and returns the steering system to proper function.

Always disconnect the spark plug and wear work gloves before starting repairs. Use the included hardware and follow your tractor?s service manual for torque specs and alignment. Regular inspection of the steering system helps prevent handling issues and uneven tire wear.
