Hi
I have a jd 2020 and the steering went out,it has a ball screw some call it a recirculating ball steering system.I cant seem to find parts for this been looking for awhile.I would hate to think this the end of this tractors life.My questions are is there a work around or does anyone know how to get this fixed.The ball screw tubes have failed and there is some scoring on the worm gear as well.This is a manual steering tractor.Wonder,Ive seen some power steering kits you think this may be a option.
Thanks in advance for any help.
 
I have a complete manual steering set up here I would sell if I can find it. You also can add power steering. Buy a steering column off a power steering tractor can be off a 1020,1520,2020,2030,2240,2440 or 2640. If it comes off a 1020 or 2020 the very early tractors used a different system and it will not work for a conversion. I have changed over several. There are even new aftermarket ones. Check this site or even Ebay. Tom
 

Welcome to YT
It sounds as if you're referring to manual steering. Is so if I was in your shoes I'd entertain as Tom suggested to change 2020 over to used power steering or another used manual steering unit .

Have you GOOGLED the part number, AT20372?

They are still available from DEERE for some $1900, from G&T Engine parts for $1270, some possible sources for used ones come up, and there's a seller on ebay selling NEW reproductions for $82.55 SHIPPED from India. (Auction #164272423806.)

I looked into the one from india i didnt work out.Thanks for you help.I was hoping I was able to find just the shaft and the ball screw as it is alot cheaper that a hole tower.
 
I looked today and I am afraid that last fall when cleaning up it went to scrap. I thought I saved it but was unable to locate it today when searching. Sorry as it was off a very low hour 1520 that we changed to power steering. Tom
 
You would need a used column and one line. You would need to either replace your one line going forward with one from a power steering tractor or have a fitting welded into the line. You could also add the priority valve that is under your right floor board but you really do not need it. I have done 3 or 4 over the years. Tom
