It uses a 3/8 bolt.A standard 3/8 washer will not work.it is a special extra thick and smaller diameter 'washer'.Its possible you could stack several smaller(5/16?)washers and drill out to the correct hole size.I would recomend getting the right 'washer' and not some cheap'hillbilly' fix.

thanks would a Case- IH dealer have these?

Probably.Or you could fabricate your own.

See if you can find a 3/8 machinery "bushing"---flat washer. They have a thin rim on them.

I made one from a 1/4 inch thick piece of steel and the proper diameter hole saw. Ellis

A lot of the time the washer gets worn and the yoke end up loose on the shaft. If your yoke has a keyway slot opposite the bolt just use a Woodruff key. You can then use the bolt to clamp the yoke tight to the shaft.

My H had a woodruff key there when I got it, and the first several parts Hs I bought did too. I didn't find the round washer in one till last week, and I saved it to put in my H since the woodruff key keeps falling out every now and then.

There should be a woodruff key on the opposite side from the clamp.

My local ace hardware had an assortment of woodruff keys. I think it is 3/16 x 7/8.

The washer deal would be very lose and soft, I wouldent use it . Just get the right have moon key and put it in, job done.

I taped mine to my steering shaft when I had my H apart and still lost it somehow. IIRC I used a woodruff key.
