you will need to change the steering gear , and the steering pinion and its not a bad idea to change the gear pivots (2) and also the bottom steering wheel shaft bushing. they sell a complete kit on ebay that has it all in one nice n tidy kit.> http://www.ebay.com/itm/JOHN-DEERE-STEERING-GEAR-REPAIR-KIT-102-135-LA120-LA155-/261112192757?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ccb7fdef5 dont let the high price full you, just the pinion $40 and the steering gear $32 is $72 and you get both and the $10 bushings x2 plus for the same price!!

Its not the drive belt. You have a bearing or etc. out.I just have problem. The spindle bearing was bad.

check for operation of the solenoid on the bottom of the carb they loose power from bad safety switches they stick closed from bad fuel and sometimes they just go bad

hey a lot of these have an elecrical solenoid fuel shut off to the carburater, i,ve had the same problem look at the carb and follow the wire, when you find it connect it to power when the key is on. should work ok after that.

Maybe the drive belt is to small and pulling on the assembly, and in turn pulling enough to break the bolt. probably is fine when idle, but under load the condition changes, causing tension to be applied and snapping the bold. That would be the first place I would look.I have also had other bolts come out of other assemblies and everything ran fine. Until one day when it didnt and belts snapped and so did bolts as and my transmission. It wasnt a good day. So check your belt alignments, mower deck bolts, spring placement, rear end bolts, etc. Good Luck!!

Here is a belt diagram that I drew for a Deere LA175 (100 Series) 54 inch deck.
