Calling all JD Model M steering box experts

I have a Model M that the pin in the lever shaft that rides on the worm gear in the steering gear box, is worn down to practically nothing. The tractor will not steer. It looks like from the JD store parts counter book that you can buy a replacement pin for the lever shaft. But the book is not very clear. I think they called it a Stud, Lever shaft part # AM 1515T. Is this the correct part and can you replace this pin? How do you get the pin out and replace it with the new one? Thanks everyone.

Thanks everyone. I am going to order that stud for the lever shaft. Hopefully no more steering slop.

I did this on my 40 a few months ago. On the 40, and I'd assume the M is the same, the stud is welded in. You need to grind the the weld off first before you drive the stud out. Press/hammer in the new stud and reweld it. The stud was about $21 from JD.

Robert, I just got thru doing this on a 435 which is very much like the M steering system. I ground the top of the stud (part #AM1515T in your case) down level with the top of the cast arm on the end of the steering shaft. Then I drove it it out with a punch. I inserted the new stud and placed the whole unit in a vise (wrap shaft to prevent damage)resting the bottom of the stud against the top of one of the jaws of the vice. I then took a sharp cold chisel and spread the top of the stud. It didn't take much as it was a tight fit to start with. I then ground down the excess on top (so it will not drag on the cover) and it looked like the factory job did. You'll see that it's pretty simple work once you get everything disassembled and see how it works. Hope this helps.
