I have a 1953 JD 40-S . The steering shaft that goes from the worm gear to the tie rods is an early style and only has one pin that rides on the worm gear . There is a later model shaft with 2 pins on E-bay ( item # 1779476390 ) . The seller describes it as part # TA124989 and that it has 10 splines and fits fits a 40 or 420 . Will this really fit my tractor ? Will it reduce the play and feedback ?

Please let me know .

Thanks !!

No it will not fit. You can't put a 2 pin shaft in a 1 pin box. The early 40 used the same box as the model M.

BTW, you can buy a new pin for about $20 from JD. Bushings and seals for the shaft you can get at a bearing supply house cheaper than JD. That will take a lot of the slop out.
