Why Replace Your Steering Sector?
Over time, the steering sector gear teeth wear down from friction against the pinion gear — especially if the steering linkage lacks regular lubrication. Symptoms include: steering wheel free play of more than 2 inches, uneven steering effort, and the tractor drifting off course on flat ground. The iFJF replacement gear restores day-one steering feel without the dealer price tag.
