Hi folks. Just bought a L245H. It's in Louisiana and I'm in Texas trying to figure out what is the possible repair for a steering wheel that turns about 360 degrees (according to my brother-in-law) before it turns the wheels. Thinking that it's probably the ball nut has gone tu, I called Kubota and that nut assembly is no longer available. So my question is this: Do you think that I could take a ball nut assembly (including the nut shaft) from a L185 and machine it to fit the L245H? Or is it more likely to be something else (bad upper and lower bearings) that could be giving the slack problem. Appreciate the help.
