Toro Bracket-Support Steering Part #112-0681 - Heavy Duty Replacement for Lawn Mower & Tractor Steering Systems - Perfect for DIY Repairs & Maintenance

Crappy manufacturing by Toro. The steering rod wears out this plate causing the driving rod to slip back and forth. Because the driving rod slips back and forth, the steering gears are not able to connect properly which leads to loss of steering. The manufacturer should consider reinforcing the area that keeps the steering rod in place on the upper side of the plate facing the engine.
