split pedestal for late model jd b

[blrott]

does anyone know where I can buy replacement seals and bearing to rebuild a upper pedestal for a jd b.

Are you asking about the bearings and gasket on the front end of the steering shaft?

I think there is a gasket at the top for the steering shaft and at the bottom above the round plate where you attach the front end. plan on replacing bearing and seals prior to install. have some oil seeping down out of the bottom around the round plate where you attach the front end assembly. only want to assemble it once. so I thought I would rebuild the upper pedestal prior to putting back together. thanks.

Look in the parts catalog and identify the parts you think you need. The link takes awhile to download so be patient.

The steering gear oil level should be even with the bottom of the sector gear. If you overfill it the excess oil will run down the steering shaft and leak out at the bottom of the pedestal. You might try cornhead grease instead of gear lube.

Glad I could help. After you identify the parts you need, use this site to see if Deere still has them available.
