How to do this? I have the new muffler, am taking hood apart to get to it but cannot remove steering rod yet. Is this the best or only way and how to do this? Thank you

I have the grille and hood screws out, looks like I have to take the steering rod out through the front of the tractor to access muffler

That is correct. You need to remove the bearing cover and bearing from the front side of the pedestal, then screw the shaft out the front. Obviously the steering wheel also needs to be removed to do this.

If its like my G then its like Rich said take the cover off of the steering sector in front remove the bearing thats there. Take
the steering wheel off but be careful not to loose the woodruff key that holds it in place ( I lost mine ) then just turn the
steering shaft out to remove it. Tom in Mn.

I just changed mine recently. Three of the muffler bolts came out and one sheared off but left enougn for vicegrips. I put some hear to it and it
came right out. You also may have to loosen the packing nut on the back of the steering gear case to get the shaft out.

Sounds like a half a days work just to change a muffler. Better last for 10-20 years for all that work.

It's a good time to flush all the mice out anyway.

It is. That's why so many of them had a hole carved in the hood. Also the reason Deere changed it on the next series of tractors ( 50's, 60's, etc.).

I think they figured it out on the G, because the stacks are across from each other and toward the sides. It's just the A's, B's, and H's that had the problem, since those stacks are in the center of the hood.
Unless you are an uncut hood fan, do yourself a favor. Cut with a grinder a 6-7
square hole, change your muffler., and then make a painted cover. My Dad did this long
before I was here on his 1946 JD A. He used some tin of the same gauge as the hood,
cut a hole in it for the muffler, and then bend the two sides down so it fits the hood
snuggly. The neighbor just made a square piece of tin with a hole for the muffler,
painted it, used some metal screws to hold it in place. You hardly notice it.

Tom, thanks for clarifying. I was responding to Pappy's comment. But you are correct--the process for removing the steering shaft should be the same. Sorry for the confusion.
