440 Steering joint

deeretails · Apr 26, 2019

I'm restoring an early 440I tractor and looking for a solution to a problem. This u-joint is on the steering shaft at the dash and has way to much play in
it. Apparently this joint is unique to this tractor. Similar joints were used on other tractors, but the shaft lengths aren't correct for a 440. Any tips
on rebuilding or repairing this thing, or is there someone you can repair it. Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.

Later 440's used a different type joint, but it interferes with the gas tank on the early units.

eons ago I had a challenge like that with a 420 slant steer. The guts of the joint looked the same.

At that time a vendor named Dave Cook in WI was rebuilding them.

Might see if google will find that shop. Good luck.

Do you know the name of the vendor or do they have a website? Would be interested to see what they have. Thanks
