rack and pinion broken passenger bracket

[McLeod Crouch]

after lifting the hoe I have had clucks and pops coming from the front end. It would pop when turning almost to full crank. I look under and the passenger side bracket is held in by one bolt on the bottom. the top bolt is just holding a broken piece there that is no longer doing anything. Anyways I can't find the bracket alone anywhere.. has anyone come across this before?

You cannot buy just the bracket. Just buy a used gear on eBay from a salvage yard. They're are plenty on there for $100 including shipping.

You lift it and put bigger tires on it and put more stress on all those components. Get ready. This is not the only thing that will give you problems.

Sounds right to me.

Seen all this happen so many times. Rigs came in to my shop and were just not up to the extra stress these heavier and bigger tires/wheels and suspension angles caused.

If you still need this, I have one I can sell you.
