I recently rebuilt my steering box with as many parts as I could find, but the upper bearing race on the column was well worn, and the new bearings I installed top and bottom, lasted only a few months before they disintegrated. That is to say the cages no longer held the bearing pieces. I am considering switching to Yesterday's Tractor's part number 8N3571-52 which is described as a replacement for the regular steel bearings and races. The description says that it is a neoprene bearing but it looks more like a nylon bushing. Does anybody have any experience with this? It seems to me that it might be a better substitute for the steel bearings if I'm going to have to replace them every few months. The other alternative is to replace the whole steering shaft and nut assembly which is more than I can afford right now. Thanks for the help.
