O Steering Arm Length
 

Can someone tell me the length of the steering arm on an O? My tractor has always turned sharper right than left, so much so the tire would rub the steering arm at full right turn. I rebuilt the steering box and it is better, but it still turns more right, like the arm is too long. I have it adjusted all the way in and it measures 21". With some of the other PO mods I've found, I wonder if it is even the correct steering arm or one they had lying around. Any help is appreciated, here is a pic of my steering arm.

From threaded end to threaded end it is 19 1/2 inches.
yours looks wrong,the link should have 2 bends in it.

Thanks Lew, if I take off the ball joints, it measures 19-9/16" threaded end to end. I assume that is how you measured the 19-1/2"? The 21" I gave was ball joint stud to stud wound fully on, which I assume you realized. I can see the straight part is not perfectly straight, so maybe it had more than one bend at some point. Do you or anyone else know the offset of the 2 bends and there distance from the ends so I can bend it properly?

Thanks
Bill

I have one,tuff to measure though,bends are so slight.

No worries Lew, I found a thread with a picture of one here and tried to emulate it.

Now it looka like dis (me emulating Lew) :biggrin2:
