For those who might want to try something different (and have access to a lathe) - Finished the steering column top bushing. Pressed it into the thin tube with interference and jb weld, pressed into the bottom just on interference fit. Bored out the bronze bushing after pressing it in with hydrailic press - it went in tight.  Next, put it back together and then back into the tractor. (Plenty more chances to screw something up!)
