I bought an after market upper bolster pivot shaft(new) maybe 20 years ago for my H. My H has been in storage for most of that time and only the last few months I have been working on it. I had the IH dealer rebush it when I put the pivot shaft in. I just put new seals , thrust bearing and a used worm gear in mine . It is pretty tight. I am telling you everything I did because I found now that I had to put a washer between the sector gear and castle nut in order to get the cotter pin to contact the castle nut. My upper bolster is not warn but either the taper was machined a little off or the hole should have been drilled a little lower. What I am getting at is I don't think my after market pivot shaft was the best quality. When i restore my tractor, I will either buy an IH one or get my old one (that I saved 20 years ago ) rebuilt. Either way, I hope to get one that fits a little better. I know that it will cost $$$. I would go aftermarket if I was told by someone that really, really, really knows Farmalls and had good luck with an aftermarket one. Mine was I guess a "will fit " one. Just my 2 cents worth.
