New steering wheel came in today for the "50 JD M. I couldn"t wait to get the old ugly one off.
When I removed the steering wheel nut I noticed the threads had been severely damaged. Nut still tightens down but there is only a couple good threads at the end of its travel and none left to fix they are completely removed.
I can"t stand to leave it this way and I don"t want to get another shaft..its good on the other end. Can"t I have it turned down and re-threaded for a smaller nut? What is the original size? Thanks.
