The problem is the way the steering box/ linkage is designed. The box is built into the front casting, and the tie rod is "split." And everything is in the road of everything else. I even have a torque amplifier, but have been tol that it is very hard on the steering box on these girls, and mine likely needs rebuilt. And it ain't easy............
I guess thats what my tractor has, pump on the back of the governor and a amplifier on the steering shaft. Whoever put it in, cut shaft, drilled it and slipped box in. Didnt shorten shaft.
I shortened steering shaftand it was way easier to get in and out of the seat.
