Hey everyone,
First post here, hopefully someone can help me out. I recently had a problem with the steering of my 1955 International Harvester 300 utility tractor. I took the steering box apart and found that one of the gears had broken. The manual refers to it as the lever shaft. See the picture links at end. I've looked all around (the internet) and called dozens of junkyards, but I can't find this part. Does anyone
have any ideas where to find this? Because I can't find the new part I'm thinking I
might upgrade to power steering. I tried contacting Jackson Power Steering (http://jacksonpowersteering.com/) but never could get a hold of him. Does anyone know what I'll need to switch it over and where to buy the components? Thanks in advance.
