8n Steering

blhaley91 · May 13, 2016

Where would one find the steering shaft ball nut bearings? The 60 or so that are inside? I bought a tractor that had the steering box removed and gutted, so I need all of the parts to put back together. It is a late 8n box? I looked all over and can only find ones for an aftermarket shaft.

Thanks

They are a standard steel bearing ball, I can't remember the size, though. Measure one, then go to ebay or McMaster-Carr.

Upon reading your post again, it sounds like you don't have any balls to measure. Hopefully someone will post the size. I've linked some helpful info from Ford tractor GURU John Smith. He often posts here, hopefully he will chime in with the size, or you could contact him.
