 4310 john deere tractor front steering hydraulic cylinder bolt backed out disabling steering nearly taking out my pasture fence. luckily not my children helping. contacted john deere for replacement part they now have a new and improved replacement cylinder for an additional $425.00. obviously they know they have a problem but we as consumers have to pay to get this fixed. *tr
