How to Install Steering Wheel Knob on John Deere 317

Install a steering knob.

While operating your John Deere 317 tractor, you will experience the need to make sharp turns occasionally. Turning the steering wheel with your hands may be to slow sometimes to make a hairpin turn in the field. An easy way to increase the speed at which you turn the steering wheel is to install a steering wheel knob. The knob fastens onto the steering wheel and provides a single object to grab onto a rotate quickly.

Things You'll Need

• Steering wheel knob
• Phillips screwdriver

Instructions

1. Unscrew the two fastening screws on the backside of the steering wheel knob with the Phillips screwdriver.

2. Turn the steering wheel so the wheels are pointing straight forward.

3. Slide the steering wheel knob onto the top, center of the steering wheel.

4. Tighten the screws back into the backside of the steering wheel knob bracket until the bracket is tightly fastened onto the steering wheel.

5. Turn the steering wheel with the knob to ensure you tightened it enough and it doesn't move when you push and pull it.
