CHANGES IN STEERING GEAR PARTS

Sometime ago, prior to the steering worm change mentioned in the August Bulletin, a change was made in the steering gear worm bearing. The bearing was changed from a cylindrical 9 roller to a tapered 13 roller bearing. To correspond with the tapered bearing, it was necessary to change the angle of the worm at …

This was accomplished by in- creasing the length of the steering column 1″ and shortening the steering column bracket approximately 3/8”. The new arrangement provides greater …

To provide additional clearance between drag link and front brake shaft housing, the end of the drag link, which was formerly assembled to the rear, is now assembled to the front. This necessitated relocating the lubricator fittings so they would be easily accessible when the position of the drag link was reversed. When installing a …

Steering Gear Housing

The drilled hole in the steering sector shaft, through which the lubricant in the steering gear housing was carried to the sector shaft bushings, has now been discontinued. Sector shaft bushings are now lubricated by means of a lubricator fitting placed in the steering gear housing. (See A, Fig 570) Lubricant should be forced into …

Bearing A-3123

The outside diameter of the spindle bolt bearing assembly and the steering worm thrust bearing assembly, part A-3123, has been changed to the dimensions shown in Figure 575. When replacing one of these bearings in the steering gear be sure to install the same design that was removed. ((575))

Disassembling Steering Gear

Place steering gear assembly in vise. (Be sure the vise is equipped with brass or copper jaws, to prevent marring housing.) Remove housing cover by screwing out the three cap screws. (See A, Fig 497.)) Drain out lubricant and remove steering shaft lower bearing assembly by running out the four cap screws, B, and withdrawing …

Steering Gear Assembly

Insert spark and throttle rods through steering shaft upper bushing, then slip the two anti-rattlers back until they come into contact with the two small notches on the rods. Next insert spark and throttle rods, together with steering shaft upper bushing, into steering gear housing; tap the bushing down until the screw holes in the …
