LSSOCH Steering Drag Links Pair (Left & Right 532194740/532194741) – Direct Replacement for AYP Husqvarna, Poulan, Craftsman Tract

LSSOCH left and right steering drag links (part numbers 194740 / 194741) are direct-replacement steering linkage rods engineered to restore precise steering on compatible Husqvarna, Poulan, Poulan Pro, Craftsman and Sears lawn tractors.

If your tractor’s steering feels loose, wanders, or you’ve identified a worn drag link, this pair replaces both the left and right linkage rods to return correct steering geometry. Each kit includes one left-hand drag link (532194740) and one right-hand drag link (532194741), manufactured to match the fit and function of the original parts used on dozens of AYP-sourced residential tractors.

Which models will these drag links fit?

These drag links are made to be compatible with a range of AYP-built lawn tractors across Husqvarna, Poulan, Poulan Pro, Craftsman and Sears model lines. Check the model and part numbers against your tractor before ordering to ensure a proper match.

• Husqvarna models: 2754GLS, CT 126, CTH 174, LGT 2654 (various years listed).
• Poulan / Poulan Pro models: PB175A42LT, PB175A46, PB18VA46, PB195H42LT, PB20A42LT, PB20A46LT, PB20H42LT.

How do these drag links improve steering performance?

Worn drag links allow play in the steering system, causing vague or delayed wheel response. Replacing both left and right drag links eliminates excessive play, restoring crisp steering and predictable handling across the mower deck.

• Replaces worn linkage to remove steering slack.
• Restores correct toe-in and alignment under load.
• Helps maintain straight tracks when mowing over uneven ground.

What’s included and how do I confirm fitment?

The package contains two steering drag links—one left-hand and one right-hand—each labeled with the corresponding part number. Confirm fitment by comparing the part numbers on your tractor’s service sticker or your existing drag links to the numbers in this listing.

• Included: 1x Left-hand drag link (532194740 / 194740).
• Included: 1x Right-hand drag link (532194741 / 194741).
• Tip: Match both physical length and ball-joint end style to your current parts.

How difficult is installation and what tools are needed?

Installation is a medium-difficulty maintenance task that most mechanically inclined owners can complete with basic hand tools. You’ll remove cotter pins or castle nuts and swap the old links for the new parts, then torque and secure the fasteners to manufacturer specs.

• Common tools: wrenches, pliers for cotter pins, socket set, torque wrench recommended.
• Allow time: about 30–90 minutes depending on access and rust condition.
• Safety: support tractor and secure wheels before working under it.

Who is this for? This LSSOCH drag link set is intended for homeowners, lawn-care technicians, and small-equipment repair shops maintaining mid-2000s to early-2010s AYP-built lawn tractors that show steering play or uneven steering behavior. If your tractor matches the listed models and part numbers, this pair provides a straightforward replacement to regain safe, accurate steering without sourcing expensive OEM originals.
