The name of the kit is, kit steering arm And the part number is 770008
You can call White Lake Nursery. Glenn. and order it they have one on the shelf The price is $31.50
The phone number is 231-894-8574
Thank you! I already replaced one “arm” before I saw your video. Now I have the same problem on the other side and ordered this kit
I've not forgot you on my review of the 2019 just haven't had time to set down and do it
The 770008 part is a kit. The LH steering arm on is 7301338BMYP and RH is 7301337BMYP. Unfortunately no one has this part or stocks it. Mine is bent. I’m going to have to straighten it and heat treat / harden and weld to reinforce it. If anyone has better ideas or still better the part, please let me know. Thank you!
I just had to do this. When the mower was given to me the left steering arm was bent. I replaced it and now we just bent the right one. Problem is that when it bends it makes the metal softer and also it is nearly impossible to bend them to the original shape. They have discontinued the kit so I was able to find each part number and order them. I had ordered them in 2021 when I got the left steering arm and never got around to picking them up. I don’t remember specifics but I remember it being comical how cheap the parts were (probably like $20 total). Fast forward a year and a half, I just picked them up (just the 2 washers and the 2 covers) and the total was $80. What a crazy world we live in.
I’ll have to check with my supplier and see if he has any of them kits in stock. Jim
Send me the model number of your machine I checked with my supplier and he doesn’t know if he has any in stock or not thanks. Jim
For those looking for the part number it's either Briggs or Snapper part 770008
I had put the kit on about two years ago. It didn’t last. Steering is screwed up again. I haven’t had time to look into it. My son has had the mower for over a year and he gave it back to me. He did take it apart and tried to fix it.
Oh sorry to hear that what can I do to help. Jim
Be nice to see some 1080P CLEAN video from you Jim. You have great videos sir. I can get better video from a simple web camera.

Hi Jim
And just how much does one of these cameras cost and can you upload to UA-cam with it or do you have to go through a computer. Thanks
jim davidson
Hi Jim
Can you send me a picture of what this camera looks like so I could take a look at it thanks.

Hi Jim it’s Jim
I’m going to check into getting a different camera this weekend if it’s not out of my price range, thanks for bringing this to my attention. Jim
Look at a Go Pro or even a good web camera that can plug into a laptop. Also look at the Sony Action Cameras. Rumor is they are around $150.00. Most people use a modern cell phone turned sideways or horizontally. Google up lipstick cameras, small little guys. Ask what others are using for cameras here on YT.
@@jimjackson9381 do you have any videos of you changing the rack steering I hate to take it to shop if I can do it myself. This seems to be a problem with these mowers. They go bad about every 3 years. Thanks
I just installed this kit and a new wheel and a new king pin. My bearings score several gouges in the king pin, bearings were less than half a year old. I did just the left side. I took pictures of the NEW kingpin it has an extra brace , how can I send pictures. I have few tools and even less mechanical skill but I got this done because of your skills. Thanks and let me know how to forward pictures
I sent pictures to your email
The left side steering arm is not available anywhere. Any ideas Jim?

Hi Linda it’s Jim
If you send me your model number of your machine and maybe a picture of the part you need I may be able to find one you can send it to my email which is
jimsfixitshop@gmail.com
And thanks for watching. Jim
Hi Jim! I realize I’m a few years late seeing your video on steering link repair. I’ve hunted all over for these parts. Do you have the part number to help in my search? Thank you so much for your help! Sincerely, Craig😊
Yes, I gave them away as a drawing prize shortly after that video but in the video I believe I see what the model or part number is
Hi Jim, Linda again, can you give me the part numbers for both left and right B & S kingpin repair kit? I think that is the only way to go.
Many thanks
Hi Linda it’s Jim, send me a picture of what you have to my email it’s easier for me to get back with you my email address is
jimsfixitshop@gmail.com
I have one of the kits that you need to fix your issue with your king pants and I’m going to have a contest and give it away I don’t know if you’re needing to mow your yard now I am in Michigan and we’re not mowing anymore so if you could wait you may win a kit let me know what you like to do. Jim
Hi Linda it’s Jim I can’t send you the email I wanted to with pictures because I don’t have your email so the part number for the repair kit is
770008
And it is called a steering arm kit and that is from Briggs & Stratton. in Milwaukee Wisconsin or you can contact your nearest snapper dealer and they can get you one. This one with tax was $33.39
And like I said I try to give this kit away as a drawing but nobody applied if I have any interest I’ll do it again and you can register to win it. Jim
@@jimjackson9381 Hi Jim, I have received some of the Emails, don't know why some came over very late. Thank you so much for responding to me. It's such a great help to see your videos and get help from you. Thanks Again,
Linda

Hi Linda it’s Jim
If there’s anything you need or that I can help you with please let me know I sent you my email address don’t be afraid to use it, talk to you soon. Jim
Where can I buy this part? do you have a part number?
I believe it is part 770008
I just bought a beautifully maintained Snapper turtle and encountered this steering issue. Where can I buy on 770008? I had to ask, did you give away the part you offered on your video? If not May I please request that part? Thank you sir!
Yes, I raffle that off already and as far as I know they don’t make them anymore I would go online and Google Snapper dealers and start calling around and see if anyone has one in stock. Jim.
Called everywhere, the kit is unavailable. I looked up the pc part list and called for the pc parts as well and can’t find any. Do you have any suggestions? Will some other brand mower parts fit? I’m kinda stuck. Thank you!
Never mind, found the video
JIM HELP !!!! I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THIS PART NO PLACE !!!
I can’t tell what part you’re looking for because I can’t tell what video you’re looking at. Send me a picture of your machine. Jim.
OK now I found the video you’re watching. They no longer makes it a part. Maybe check with Parts Tree.Com and see if they have any in stock or call around to different dealers even in different states and see if they have any in stock if you Google snapper dealers. It should bring up a very large list of dealers around the country. Jim.
Jim, I have one of these "turtles". UGHHHH. Do you still take emails? I can not find the address to save my life.
disregard

Sorry but I’ve sent to us three times I don’t know why it’s not going through. Jim
Ridiculous the bs they do to make it cheaper and more complicated. What was wrong with just a solid welded part?
