Useful for BX25D owners doing their own steering repair, not for shopping or evaluation.
An owner sharing a personal, step-by-step repair from his own tractor, with mentions of a related repair channel and website, so expect a DIY hobbyist perspective rather than a professional or dealer one.
Sit stationary and turn the steering wheel back and forth. If the rack moves but the wheel doesn't, the ball joints inside the tie rod ends have gone bad.
Remove the cotter pin and castle nut, strike the joint loose with a hammer, count threads on the old tie rod for alignment, then install the new tie rod end and boot, counting back the same threads.
No. You don't need to pull the tires or remove the hood or cowling. It is a simple job that can take about 30 minutes for both sides.
