I'm working on getting my steering sorted out and I found slop in the bell crank.

It's the 3/4 shaft design (ball down) and the bell crank wobbles on the shaft.

Does anyone have specs on the bell crank ID and the shaft OD? I'd like to mic it and see what's worn out before dropping $350 on parts.

Thanks,
Les

Joe DeYoung here on the forum does a great refurbishment of the bell crank. I'm sure he can give you all the specs because he takes old ones and makes them new again. For a lot less than $350.

Stan,
I was looking at that a few minutes ago, and I might go that route depending on answers to the following question:

I have a follow-up "stupid question"

to non-stock steering setups (saginaw, 80s Ranger, etc) interfere with a front PTO setup?
