why does it start but wont go left,right orforward or reverse, my stirring wheel is very loose

@jdmoz you need to let us know what model your mower is. We do not have enough information for a definite answer. The loose steering wheel could be related to a failed steering shaft, bad drag link and multiple other parts. The not going forward or reverse is not related to the steering and could be a bad drive belt. Let us know what you have checked and post plenty of pictures of your steering assembly and drive assembly with your question.
