I was using my B7200 HST yesterday, and something happened to the steering. It will turn to the left, but will not steer to the right. Any ideas as to what I should look for?
I was online, investigating a replacement steering box, and it seems there is a difference between the B7200, and the B7200 HST. Is it a mounting difference, or the shaft?
Thanks in advance for any info I can get.

Just about everything is different between the two.

The issue is inside the box, but most parts will be hard to find.

I found a rebuild kit for the steering shaft from Kumar Bros USA, that says it'd for a B7200 HST.
I found a sector shaft too, but it only references the B7200. Are the sector shafts the same?
THanks,

THanks,
The sector shafts are the same.
That's not normally the case.

Revival from the dead, but did you get it fixed? Looking at one that has the exact same problem also HST

Are you looking for info on a B7200HST steering or the B6100HST in your profile?

If it's the B7200HST the information in post #4 answers what he did to fix it.

If it's the B6100HST your working on the answers are likely not the same.

I didn't see that he actually fixed it. I'm looking to buy a B7200HST with the same steering issue he posted about. I actually have a b6100 and b6200 that work perfectly but this 7200hst has a loader...

You could be right, I guess I just assumed that he got it fixed with the parts he got.

Here is the unit and parts.
