I have read through the archives on this topic and decided to fix my front end wobble and steering play. Inmy initial inspection before disassembly, I found movement between the radial half gear and the spline on the vertical shaft. The gear moved but the shaft did not. I found the vertical shaft had front to back movement of about .030-040". I also found loosness between the worm gear and radial half gear of about 15 degrees on the steering wheel. Removed the top nut, radial half gear two washers, then removed the vertical shaft. I also removed the upper bolster bushing. One the shaft base there is a thrust bearing that appears to be in good shape. Above the thrust bearing on the shaft there is a 3/8" thick rubber seal? I dont see this on my diagram. The vertical shaft does not apear to have significant wear in the area of the bushings. I have not yet removed the lower bolster bushing. I wanted to ask a couple of questions before I buy parts. I want to do a complete replacement of the bushings/bearings, gears and seals. I have read in the archives that Carter and Gruenwald has a "kit" but I dont see it on their website. Does anyone know the part number and what is included in the kit? Is there another source for such a kit? IH? Do I need to do anything special to remove the lower bolster bushing? Is the reassembly as easy as the disassembly? Is there anything I need to be concerned with during reassembly? I appreciate any and all replies. Thanks in advance!

This was due to the new 4-cylinder "Power Crater" gasoline engine with a 4 x 4-1/2 inch bore and stroke. Some people feel this was one of the most significant tractors offered by Allis-Chalmers in those days. Nothing in its weight or power class could match its performance. In 1954 they began offering the WD45 with the new "Snap-Coupler&quo
