A

is
caused
by
over-
greasing
of
the
housing
or
an
improperly

justed

in

HOUSING
A
broken
steering
gear
housing
is
most
com-
monly
caused
by
the
wheel
striking
a
solid
ob-
ject
when
the
tractor
is
traveling
at
fast
speed.
It
can
also
be
caused
by
applying
excessive
pres-
sure
on
steering
wheel
with
heavy
load
on
front
of
tractor.
EXAMPLE:
Tractor
equipped
with
GT-3
tires
and
front
end
loader.
To
reduce
steering
effort,
the
tractor
should
be
in
motion
when
turning
front
wheels,
espe-
cially
with
heavy
ballast
on
front
of
tractor.
