Just bought a Bolens G14XL (1461). Runs good and it's altogether.

Only problem I can find is that the steering is sloppy. Free play from "11am" to "1pm" on steering wheel and visible play where the spindles go through the front axle assembly so I guess new bushings are in order. Also sloppy fit where front axle assembly is mounted in the front axle support assembly.

I'd appreciate Any warnings, tips, or advice before I dive in?

hi there
I think you've got it pretty well figgured out.
Some of the bushings you might have to make
as there somewhat hard to find as " Bolens"
replacements. Ie the spindle bushings. My Q16
is like yours,every thing is wore some but not
super bad --add it all up though, yikes , Some
of this stuff may have to be heated a bit to help
press out the old. Enjoy your Bolens - They get
adictive (got 4 myself)
