It depends how desperate you are; You could probably buy an extension handle with a u joint and then modify it to be shorter if necessary, you might be able to make the lockout sleeve your new handle. I bought a Cabela's model a few years ago, it's easy to steer once your used to it. First thing I did when I got it was reinforce the plastic knuckle where I could, the reviews complained the plastic would blow out easy. I see they sell a different "all metal joint" brand now.dustmaker said:I need some help to figure out what to do about my steering problem. When I raise my rear seat the tiller handle is to short. Thought about adding extension but it will hit seat or will be unreachable when turning. I don't really want stick steering unless I can do it with a joystick. Thinking about a motor that goes forward and reverse with a threaded rod on end and a nut with swivel mounted on motor controlled with joystick. Any help with this problem would be appreciated.
