This is the third pin I've had to replace in the steering gear box this year. I cannot understand why the worm gear is "chewing" this pin up all the time. Any suggestions as to what I can do to make this pin work better and last longer, I would really appreciate. Thanks.

Try the corn head grease that clooney referenced. It is usually setting on the floor in tubes at the JD dealer. I have been runing that stuff in my 420 90 degree box for over a year and use the tractor. I have not noticed any change in the smoothness of the steering after I overhauled the box and filled it with corn head grease. Just a thought, you may have more fun brewing up your own mixture. Have fun and good luck :) .

Vic, without seeing the parts it's hard to tell. ~A couple of things come to mind; is the worm gear all chewed up & rough? If so that will tear the pin up.
~Is the oil staying in the gear, if not & it gets dry that pin won't last long.
~Are you using grease instead of oil in the gear? If so, the grease could be getting displaced at the contact point of worm to pin due to very high loadings & the grease is too thick to flow back in around the contact point [if that is your problem, mix grease with 140W gear oil until a flowing paste is made & dump that in. Or possibly use corn head grease.

Thanks Clooney, the worm gear appears to be ok, best I can tell. The gear box has grease in it, perhaps not enough. I will put the oil in it too for better lubrication.
