Repairs Kubota ZD326 left drive handle

[Vmaidens]

Hi folks

Just had a strange thing happen over the winter (or so my wife claims).

The right hand drive seems to have normal power on stiffness of control that it's always had. The left however has less power, brakes fine and has a lot of play when moved.

Before I rip the cowl off and fiddle with things I figured I better ask people who actually know what they are doing. Is this something anyone has run into?

Thanks in advance.

I'm probably speaking out of turn but you just might check this out. I was having some stiffness in one of my steer sticks while pulling back on the stick turning around at the end of the lawn. It was making it feel real odd on that side like strange things were happening. It was only happening on one side (don't remember which side) When it first happened I thought It was my imagination but after a couple of turns I looked around for the problem. My seat belt catch had dropped and was interfering with the movement of the stick as I pulled the stick rearward. Please don't lecture me about wearing my belt! I know I should but................:wink:
