kthomas62 44 #1 Posted August 22 Good evening all! I have a 1988 414-8, and there is quite a bit of slop where the steering shaft goes throught the dash plate. I have an idea of how I want to fix it but was wondering if any of you have delt with the same issue and what you did to fix it. (See photos) TIA, Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,879 #2 Posted August 22 A similar bearing to what holds the front of the steering shaft can be installed there. 2 bolt flanged type. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 5,477 #3 Posted August 22 Does it have locking set screw on it if so loosen up the screw put some lube on and work it`s way up. This was from years of people pulling up to get off the tractor.Enjoy the ride. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee1977 6,695 #5 Posted August 22 (edited) The hard part is getting the steering wheel off. Using the WH part you don't have to modify anything. just center it and drill two holes and bolt it to the bottom side. I had a good used one that I used on my 312-8.

Thank you for this information! I can't see all the number on the 2 flange bearing, could you please give me the part number? Also, once the wheel is off, did you drop the shaft out the bottom?
