In Reply to: Farmall M Steering Lock-up Issue posted by johnb5345 on December 29, 2014 at 22:01:26:

i replaced the bearing on the worm gear and it definitely helped but did not completely solve the issue. I wiped out all the grease from the steering box - do I fill this back up with JD corn head grease or some other gear oil? I noticed there's a grease fitting on the bolster but it must be plugged as I wasn't able to pump any grease into it. Is that grease zerk going to a tapered bearing inside the bolster? I've been soaking that area (around felt washer) with PB Blaster to see if it helps. It steers easier to the left and hits a hard spot going right.

I have a couple other off-topic questions:

1) I have a IH #16 3 bottom trip plow and was wondering what to use in the trip mechanism gear box? I've tried 85W-140 and it seeps out. Also, two boards are missing the small curved plate that bolts directly above. Where can I buy these parts?

2) I noticed the water pump on the M leaks from the front where the packing nut goes in. Should I try tightening the packing nut or buy a new pump? What are the two grease zerks for on the side of the water pump? I put a few pumps of grease in each to see if that would stop it from leaking but no luck. What is the best source for buying a new water pump and radiator for the M?

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
