Good evening. Boy, I sure hope I can find the part I need here on Yesterdays Tractors. I have an "antique" (1974) JD 302A, which I believe is equivalent to the 3020. I need the steering arm P/N T34255, (sub listed is T54367). This is the 'J' shaped arm on the left side under the steering column. My 302A has power steering, if that is any help. This 'J' shaped cast piece is splined to the cross member inside the hydraulic oil reservoir. This arm, item #12 on page 50-3 in the parts manual connects to the long steering rod going to the front of the tractor, connecting to the steering arms. I bought this 4 cylinder diesel loader tractor in 1993 and it has been a great little tractor. The 302A is the industrial version or the 3020 and is painted yellow.
JD tells me this arm is no longer available as a new part so sure am hoping I can find a used one here. I have already searched the web site and found nothing. The current one has been welded sometime in the past before I acquired the tractor. If anyone, anywhere, has any idea where a good used can be found I'd sure appreciate it. I may have to attempt to have it welled again, if I can find a good cast welder. My name is Richard (Dick) Warren and I live about 210 miles south of the windy city, Chicago. There's got to be a salvage yard somewhere, my next option.
