Farmall Cub

BOSS, I just rebuilt the steering box on my 140HC and the top bearing was shot, put everything back together and it was a little better but today while cultivating beans it went right back to the same thing, the center pitman arm is riding up and down 1/2 to 3/4 inch, I know this has been covered before. But not after a rebuild I suppose the snap ring could have broken or and this is my question for you the 3 bolt retainer that holds the upper bearing, mine was worn down so I just fliped it upside down, so it was flat on both sides now I am wondering DID IT HAVE A LIP ON THE UPPER SIDE WHEN NEW TO KEEP THE BEARING TIGHT TO THE HOUSING?????????? I am going to have to break it down again anyhow just wondering what parts I need now.

Thanks Rex

Rex, Here is a link to Messick's. You'll need to click on steering and then you can magnify and scroll to look at the parts: http://www.messicks.com/CAS/55885.aspx

I am sure you will need the retainer if it was worn thin, I will look I may have one
Boss

It shows as still being available

Thanks Fellows,

I am just going to buy the clip and retainer and I will know for sure, I knew that clip was thin when I put it back on but thought I would get lucky, which in a way I guess I did because all the shafts and gears looked great.

I hope I have learned a lesson, while you have it apart and the "C" clip only cost $3.49 its alot cheaper to replace it that having to take it apart again. Sure enough the old "C" clip was broken.

Now good as new.

Hope all is well now
Boss
