About 10 days ago I posted a thread looking for parts to rebuild the steering on an 80s model JD 850 tractor. I was able to find my old thread, but for reasons I don't understand, it will not let me add a reply now:
The wise people here pointed me to a JD Parts Catalog, where the parts were listed as available, with prices, etc. This being the steering column in question:
To order, you have to choose a local dealer, which I did, and completed the order 10 days ago. Having heard nothing, I called today. They found the order, then said they can only get 1 of the 10 parts I ordered thru their website. Was told the rest are obsolete.
If anyone's interested, I ordered these from diagram: #2,#7,#8,#11,#15,#19,#20. I also order a seal and packing/gasket for the steering arm. The only part they can get is the bearing (#11) which IS the most crucial, I need two of them. They say they are enroute. We'll see.
So, I believe I'm back to seeking salvage, or third party sellers. A company called Hoye was suggested, any other likely suppliers?
Appreciate your patience, as you can see I don't know my way around here very well.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
