My son purchased a 1955 Farmall 300 Utility to mow most of 25 acres that he recently purchased in West Texas. He bought it from a real nice lady who?s husband did some collecting. She said it was running when they parked it.
I brought it home with me because my son doesn?t have the time or a place to work on it.
Believe it or not, the engine runs. However there are some problems that I have to overcome.
The bearing in the top of the steering tube has no balls. Yes, all of the balls in the bearing there are gone. But the bottom most bearing in the bottom of the steering housing has ball bearings but they are really pitted and so is the race. feels like a gravel road, just turning the steering wheel.
I can use some advice about finding or making parts. I have the parts list from CaseIH with numbers but when I search for them, all I find is ?Unavailable?.
Again, help and encouragement is needed.
