Steering link
May 10, 2021|Allthumbs, Dayton ohio

The steering link broke. The part is specific to Sears tractors and all local repair/service shops said I'd need to contact Sears directly. An Internet search brought me to your site. Everything on your site was incredibly easy and straight forward. Once I knew the model number of My lawn tractor I found the part in seconds and had it ordered. Arrived 2 days later. The actual repair took 5 minutes.

Works as it should, perfect match!
July 03, 2019|Boodrow, Cadyville, NY

Easy to install, just mark your threads before the ball joint. Try to match the old with the new. I used a little "white out".

correct part
June 19, 2018|Daniel22, st louis, mo

Installed the new part in about 4 minutes. Old ball joint took about 25 minutes to remove (some folks report longer). I had to return an OEM ball joint that didn't have the correct bolt threading. Sears sent me the correct part. Thank you!
