| I guess that's a matter of perspective. If you're silly enough to take it as a scale technical drawing... Maybe. Maybe not. | |

| Okay, finally got some time to post what I think needs to happen. On left, is a simplified version of what Doc posted, what I would call go-kart/ATV steering. Two tie rods connected to one or two pitman arms in the middle. Works great, but usually we have an engine in the way. On the right is what works for front engine mowers. Steering column is not shown, because it is straight up and down for this simple drawing. It uses an extra connection to the spindles to get the steering hooked up. | |

Ill post some pictures soon. I have had the best results having the pitman arm parallel to the steering arm when steering is straight. | |
