Farmall M Steering

Meangreen · Oct 27, 2014

I remember reading somewhere that you can cut the knuckle off of an M and then replace it with a universal steering joint that slides onto each end of the shaft. Am I correct in this? I was looking at the ones on this site to make the change.

Reason I want to make the change is I was out driving the tractor in 5th gear, pulled into my driveway and then as I was pushing it into the garage I grabbed the steering wheel and it just spun. The little key hay wiggled out and if it happened about 5 minutes earlier it could have nee disastrous.

If the key came out you have other issues.

Yes, I have done exactly that on a couple of Farmalls. It involves drilling a couple of holes and installing pins.
