Just pulled box off tractor today to rebuild.I have all the parts removed from the box,but can't figure out how to take the shaft out of the tube.Something has it locked in.I just got this tractor about a month ago and it looks like it wasn't cared for very well.There was at least a quart of water in the steering box and hardly any oil.Very hard to steer also.I want to thank all of you guys who help us newbies.

If the upper bearing under the steering wheel has ever disentegrated in the past their may be some ball bearings rolling around down at the bottom of the tube that have jamed things up.

Try lightly holding the tube in a vice and pull and turn the steering sector box round and round and it may come off. Also before you put the tube in a vice to hold it I would give the tube a good shot of penetrating oil to free up what ever has it jamed.

Hi Rick. What year is your 8N? There are two different steering boxes used on 8N's, depending on the year of manufacture, and it would help us to help you if you would offer more info on your N.

Take care..... Ed
