the gromit by the gear of the one higher for the shaft?

@@livingwildandfree2885 the small gear you took out from the steering wheel assembly. That small gear presses into a plastic gromit It popped out when you disconnected it. It never went back in The steering probably has a lot of slop in it.

@@anguslean4058 Oh didn't see that. but the black grommet that's just above the steering gear never popped out. It's a two-piece design one from under and one on top. It never separated and why I never mention it in the video. Reference the John Deere catalog to get a better idea than I can give.

@@livingwildandfree2885 the one that popped out is milky white

@@anguslean4058 Ill have to do some more looking. all mine are in. steering feels fine.

Sorry about that, the pully I replaced is Powertrain Drive Pully GX20286. The belt is a V belt length 2258 mm UC30568. And this is a LA125 John deere lawn mower. The catalog is pretty easy to use for john deere

@@livingwildandfree2885 thank you sir .
