MF friends,

Our old MF65 (ser. # SNDW 706010) will not accept the bearing suggested by YT. 2-9/16" OD is too big - needs 2-3/8" OD. It is possible entire steering box was replaced with earlier version decades ago, because it looks like AGCO "first used" variety. Removed mangled plastic bearing assembly that looks like several on UK websites, possibly part num. 1850526M91 (Bearing Assembly, Ball) and 1850527M1 (Cup, Bearing). Any ideas on sourcing replacements? Thanks very much!
 
By the serial number it's a 1964 year model, U.S tractor.

For the upper steering column.
1500491M1 Seat, Bearing Spring
1500490M1 Spring, Bearing

For the lower steering column/steering box.
1024477M91 Bearing Assembly (uses 2).
1003341M1 Cup, Ball Retaining (uses 2).
 
Thanks very much for your efforts on my steering gear box. Yes, the tractor is a '64 but maybe not the steering gear box. Unfortunately the part numbers 1003341M1/1024477M91 you suggest are the ones I received from YT and they are 2-9/16" OD - too big. The steering gear box may not be original; the bearing cups I removed are exactly 2-3/8" OD. The "early" (first year) steering box has different numbers for the bearing/cup, but I can't find specs or a source for them. The bearings were in a white plastic ring, before it got mashed. Any ideas? Thanks!
