I need to fix the steering on the tractor in the picture. I have the gears out and they both have broken teeth. I need parts but do not know where to get them or what type of tractor it is to get started. Thanks for any help

Looks like an old Simplicity model - but I have no idea!
If you have a machine shop around - they might be able to replace those gears!
[It was free to me so I didn't really care what kind it was. everything worked and a friend was moving from the country to the city and did'nt want it to sit and rust. He got it from his father and doesn't remember the brand either. Everything works on it except the steering,
Bigfish76, few folks get a tractor given to them. That's undoubtedly where Tomcat was coming from.
I don't know the answer to your manufacturer question, but the suggestion on Satoh is where I would start. Use the internet to find Satoh tractors for sale or parts and start asking question there. If they don't know the answer ask them who they would send you to. Keep digging!
Back in the '70's there were several manufacturers of small (eventually called compact) tractors marketed in the US. Yanmar, Satoh, Bolens and Kubota were probably the main ones. There was a peeing contest going on to see who was going to get the biggest market shares. Yamnar united with John Deere. Kubota came together with sales and service and backed up their porduct beyond what the others did. So that's why Kubota has become the leader.
You will have to dig, but that's the fun. Good luck with your new treasure.
