Tom, I see the Steering gear worm Q,U,30-U as 42834. I sure don't see a listing for a tooth gear though.
Thanks a lot Frank that greatly improves my hopes to find replacement parts . The tooth part may be called Worm gear wheel . but number is correct .As assembly it's number is #309494 .
Have you ever disassembled one ,. Do you need to loosen clum switch and anything else from bottom to back column nut off enough to get free movement . Mine is tight turning the large nut . Was expecting it to loosen and column to loosen it's grip to bring back down against .
Tom, I just followed the instructions in the manual to adjust slop. Too far back to remember any details for guidance worth a hoot. Have all your gears gone kaput?
I do not think so . I just finished rebuilding rusted rear springs and feel with out the rigid back it had a little more slop in steering . And felt it was time to teak . Well after touching it it seems worst . .
With steering back to acceptable working , after readjusting . i have a spare steering box coming . Will be rebuilding that one .
So radiator shroud and bottom tank is still needed . Started to clean tar out of fins .
