Any idea where to look for the bolt/pin that holds the steering arm to the top of the spindles on a 2N?

My Dad has a 2N, and has partially disassembled the front. The bolt/pin that hols the steering arm to the top of the spindles are in bad shape; we can't figure if they were just damaged, or the wrong ones and damaged too.

I looked in the parts site here; they do not list them.

Skyhawk Greg made the ones Dan has pictured. I have a dimensioned drawing made from his measurements and can provide it and/or a couple pins if he doesn't chime in.

Just talked to my Dad; he is interested in getting new pins. Please advise of best way to contact offline.

Also, Engine serial number 9N2536 indicates early 1939 model.

Thanks
Robert

That is indeed an early 1939 9N. That is worth far more than a similar shape 2N model due to collectability.

Congratulations!

Do they look like this? If so - that is not a 2N spindle arm pin - this is for a VERY early 9N tractor. They discontinued this method due to unsatisfactory life expectancy. The replacement was an arm that used a regular 7/16" - 20 X2 1/4" cap bolt.

A board member made these and I snagged a set for my 1939 9N as it still has the original spindle arms.

HTH,
Dan

Those are them...

the tractor was sold to my Dad as a 2N. He did a little research; the engine serial number indicates a 9N. It is becoming clearer that this may be the case.

I have a '41 Farmall "A". I was able to verify the serial number and the block/head/tranny casting numbers to verify the year through Guy Faye's books.

Is it possible to do this on the 9N/2N series?

Will a 2N steering arm fit the spindle with regular bolts as you mention? If not, we may need to go to the local machine shop too...

If these are the pins, your dad definately has early 9N spindles (usually meaning he has an early 9N tractor). You can retrofit the later version spindle arms, but you also have to replace the spindles themselves as they have a slot cut into them where the cap bolt goes to lock it in.

My best bet would be to obtain these from Greg or TOH. They both say these are not hard for them to make - I envy those guys.

Good luck,
Dan

Thanks to all for the info. I will pass this info on to my Dad, and let him decide how he wants to proceed.

Appreciate the help,

Later spindles and arms use a key and clamp bolt.The taper shank bolts were used in ford cars and trucks to lock the king pins into the axles.There were different sizes.Check with Joblot on Long Island NY
