76c12091520h 3,623 #1 Posted November 16, 2021 I came across an ad tonight in the classifieds that brought into question something I've been considering posting for awhile: are all Wheel Horse steering supports the same? The answer is no. Interchangeable yes , but not the same throughout the years. There may be a couple of other part #'s assigned to these things over the years, but you get the general idea. Starting with the earliest # shown (4412) you can see that it is 3/8" thick and the bore for the lower steering shaft does not accept the replaceable bushing. Moving on to the 6396 part #, you can see that it shares the same dimensions as the earlier design, but now accepts the replaceable bushing . Lastly, we have the #88-2710 steering support which has a thicker mounting flange ( + - 1/2" ) and accepts the replaceable bushing. Just some info I thought I'd share. 8 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,150 #3 Posted November 16, 2021 Too bad the upper hole didn't come with the bushing. That's where they wear! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
