Yes. But, the new steering assembly, from what I can tell, has the same design problem and uses the same sector gear that I can't get anymore.

Also I wanted to mow the lawn before it rained again!

Well how'd it turn out? Good as new? Better? Worse?

It's a bit tighter than the old steering and I put it through its paces and everything seems fine so far. There's one rough spot that you can feel if you're turning it without the tie rod hooked up, but once the mower's weight is on the wheels you can't tell it's there. Good enough for a $200 mower.

Now all you gotta do is pimp it out and you'll be ready for the Lawn and Garden show.
