BX 1500 steering

The steering on my BX1500 seems to have a lot of play. I can be going along and it seems to wander off in one direction or the other. It is really hard, if not impossible to keep in in a straight line.

Any suggestion?

Thanks, Pete

Check all steering parts by having an adult helper familiar with tractor in seat with engine running, have them turn steering wheel all the way right then all the way left while you're looking for excessive movement in steering components. Safety First have back wheels scotched. Back in the 80's I was working on a GMC Astro 18-wheeler tractor that did the same thing while holding steering wheel straight it would turn right. I soon found the problem, left front spring eye bolt bushing was broken. Let us know what you find, thanks.

Something similar and it turned out to the center pivot bolt was loose. Tightened the bolt...problem gone.
