Farmall m steering stop

[Mountain J]

I swapped a narrow front steering pedestal onto a m and was wondering were the steering stops are, the tractor i took the pedestal off had no stop you could steer it all the way till the steering wheel disconnected from the steering gear, I would appreciate some pictures of a narrow front m if anyone has some thank you

Originally, one of the four bolts that hold the pedestal was a special that had a big nub on top of the bolt head. If installed in the correct position, the nub hits a spot at each limit.

One of the 4 bolts should have an extra long pin that sticks up for the stop. Ellis

Ask said it is a special Bolt. It has a special elongated head . I believe it goes into one of the front holes to be in the right position. I might even have one that I could send you.

Yep as said, one taller bolt. Goes in right front location. The taller bolt comes against a step in the casting. Sticks up about an inch. Here is a pick of my sm.

I have head of people welding that stop onto one of the bolts. Can easily tell how much height you need to do the job. About 3/4 inch should do it.

I'll bet he could stack a bunch of split lock washers under the head of that bolt and it would work just fine.

Deltared where are you located just wondering if it would be feasible sending me one

IH part 48751DA, a place named Devons shows one. Probably any old junk yard with old Farmalls would have one I would think.

I think i will go with your advice with the washers instead of shipping cause shipping is a pain nowadays

I just welded a nut on the top of the bolt for that job on our H. M would be about the same.
