Double nutted steering gear
While looking at a newer 4016 this summer I noticed the steering gear was double nutted to prevent the steering gear from loosening up. I checked mine last weekend and found the nut had backed off more than a full turn. I tightened the nut up and added a 2nd nut to lock the nuts in place. What a difference that made. The steering is much tighter now.
