I have bought and downloaded the original manual from JenSales in hopes it would describe the puzzle I have about reassembling the manual steering on my 58 TO35, but it does not.
In the picture, right below the bottom of the actual column, is a cupped washer with its concave side facing down. Its outer diameter is the same as the inner diameter of the bearing.
In other pictures I have looked at, it seems like this cupped washer faces up, but I would tend to trust the original manual.
Not shown in the diagram are the ball bearings that fit somehow within the cup; I retrieved 15 of them.
I need to know how this thing goes together. If I put the bearings under the cup, a couple of them will go up the hole in the middle of the cup and into the hole in the bottom of the actual column. Maybe that doesn't matter.
So, what are these ball bearings doing? The bottom bearing in the race on the column should be taking the load, so what are these for?
At this point I don't even care what they're for, I just need to get this tractor back in action....
Thanks fro any help!
