Helping a friend that now has his families 1953 John Deere model 40. Major problem is steering is almost inop. I have removed or disconnected most assemblies and components that are part of the steering assembly. In the John deere parts manual item #5 on page 50-5 steering shaft and item #32 on page 55-4 spindle, upper are all that is left connected. Still cannot get any rotating motion when applying an 18" pipe wrench. It is a wide front end and he did say someone may have hit something with a front wheel while driving, fence post or tree. Question is, what is bent or seized in the steering pedestal and how do I get things out/ disassembled? This is the last item for making it a working tractor again.Thanks for all insights or info.
