I have read through the archives on this topic and decided to fix my front end wobble and steering play. Inmy initial inspection before disassembly, I found movement between the radial half gear and the spline on the vertical shaft. The gear moved but the shaft did not. I found the vertical shaft had front to back movement of about .030-040". I also found loosness between the worm gear and radial half gear of about 15 degrees on the steering wheel. Removed the top nut, radial half gear two washers, then removed the vertical shaft. I also removed the upper bolster bushing. One the shaft base there is a thrust bearing that appears to be in good shape. Above the thrust bearing on the shaft there is a 3/8" thick rubber seal? I dont see this on my diagram. The vertical shaft does not apear to have significant wear in the area of the bushings. I have not yet removed the lower bolster bushing. I wanted to ask a couple of questions before I buy parts. I want to do a complete replacement of the bushings/bearings, gears and seals. I have read in the archives that Carter and Gruenwald has a "kit" but I dont see it on their website. Does anyone know the part number and what is included in the kit? Is there another source for such a kit? IH? Do I need to do anything special to remove the lower bolster bushing? Is the reassembly as easy as the disassembly? Is there anything I need to be concerned with during reassembly? I appreciate any and all replies. Thanks in advance!

Today's Featured Article - Picking Corn - by Rick Nikolich. It was the day before Christmas shutdown at work and I asked our lead engineering expert Scott Andrzejewski what he was going to do over the holidays. He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac ... [Read Article]
