Steering problems

John L. Banasky · Oct 19, 2009

I have a 1952 300 untility IH tractor. Steering keeps breaking at the base of the steering column inside the steering box where a pin rides up and down on a heilical gear. Is that pin suppose to be a floating or stationary pin? Or is there any suggestions or modifications you've done to correct this problem? Short of just making it hydraulic instead of machanical.

That pin is suppose to ride up and down the screw gear. You don't want to get it too tight or it will bind up. The way to fix your steering if the pin is worn it to have it welded up and ground to shape.

I may be all wet, but can't that pin be turned until a good side will get the wear for a while?

No, it gets worn up completely.

That's exactly what I've been doing but it stills seems to wear out quickly.

Unable to determine what the original part should look like. Would like information as to where I might purchase and OEM part.

(quoted from post at 15:14:52 10/19/09) I have a 1952 300 untility IH tractor.

That would be a very rare tractor :lol: ... number series did not come out until '55 (or maybe late '54).

I thought it was a 1952 by the hand stamp of 1152 so was think Nov. 1952.

The other number is 19632SJ and I thought this was the serial number.

But now that you've said that I'm wondering if it could possible be a 1963, I just don't know.

I don't know if anyone makes that part anymore.
