My B7200 has what I would consider excessive steering wheel play. Although the tractor manual explains how to adjust play, and even provides illustrations, I can't seem to locate on the tractor where they explain how to loosen a lock nut and the screw to tighten. Can anyone help me by explaing where the adjustmnent is made on a B7200? Thank you.

"Playless in Connecticut" . . . . I no longer have steering wheel play after following your instructions. The rubber stopper, having been painted during my rattle can primping, was disguised among the Kubta blue. I'm happy to report that I "think" I don't have a lower bearing failure. Time will tell. In any case Vic, thanks very much for your help.:) Fred Newman

I also have steering wheel play but along with the play I have a knocking noise when i turn the wheel. I think the unit needs to be rebuilt.
My local Kubota dealer wants a fortune for the parts, does anyone know of any good on-line parts companies that reasonably priced?

Thanks,:confused:
