I believe that there are two bearings and chase on the steering shaft. One upper and one lower how do you replace them especially the lower. My steering has become very difficult to turn all of the sudden, like one of these bearings has locked up. I sprayed PB blaster down the steering shaft, and it loosened a bit, but not like it was. Does anyone know of a source for these bearings and a price. I am guessing that I may have to take the gear box apart. Is it a difficult job???third party image

To clarify, the only part you need to remove to change the bearings is the tubular casting containing the steering shaft marked "8" in the above diagram.

The drop arm bushes are marked "23" in the above diagram. Some suggest filling the steering box with grease if the seals ("34") are leaking, but the grease will not cure any problems caused by badly worn bushes.

Craig. Nice Fergy you've got there! Unusual white grass - here in Australia it is either green (wet season) or brown (dry season) - but never white.

I have no idea on the TO30, but I think it is very similar to the TEA30?

I assume you have checked the usual items: front axle center pivot pin: front king pins: steering box oil: steering box adjustment (via the two adjusting screws): and ensured the drop arm bushes are not worn or binding?

If your TO30 is similar to the TEA20, there are two bearings, top and bottom, on the steering shaft - the top bearing can seize due to lack of lubricant. Remove the steering wheel and top casting containing the steering shaft only and you can access and change the bearings. Top and bottom bearings are identical. No need to remove the steering box.

The TEA20 steering shaft bearings are a little difficult to obtain. I have the invoice from when I bought the bearings and the only invoice description is:

6 Tapered Roller Bearing Cup

5BC Tapered Roller Bearing Cage

4CB Tapered Roller Bearing Cone

I checked the suppliers catalogue but can't make any sense of the invoice part numbers.

I'm sure if you email John (UK) [email protected] and ask, he will send you his very informative help sheet "Steering Box and related parts TE20 series / TO20/30 & FF30".
