Sucess with removal of stuck steering pivot on H

Posted by Zonie on May 25, 2001 at 22:07:14 from (64.12.103.162):

This evening I finally got the steering pivot to drop out. I went to home depot and bought a lenght of 1" hardwood dowel and some copper 3/4" pipe caps. I cut the dowel to 8" in lenght and I sanded down the dowel to fit the pipe caps very snugly.The pipe caps keep the end of the dowel fron splintering and are soft enough to keep from damaging a steel shaft. If you can find 7/8" dowel they should fit perfectly.
This made for a very stout punch to drive out the stuck pivot with out ruining the threads on the end.
I did break a couple of these dowels driving out the pivot shaft but could reuse the copper caps. It's a good thing I bought a 3 foot dowel to start with.
I think this tool could be useful for alot of applications where you need to drive out a shaft with out damage.
The thrust bearing has large dimples in the top and bottom rings. I don't see how it could be functioning at all.
Also the lower bushing has a large amount of play on the shaft, it rattles around. Neither the shaft or bushing show signs of excessive wear to account for the looseness.
Any ideas where to get the seals, bushings, and thrust bearing? the closest Case / IH dealer is about 100 miles from here. I'm wondering if the Bearing supply house in town will have access to the thrust bearing. they should be able to get the seals and maybe the bushings.
I'll have to try to locate a good sector gear and worm shaft as the gear had 3 teeth missing ijn the center of it and thid damaged the worm gear.
