Steering drop arm

Post by Foxen »

Are there a couple of different ones? Mine on my Super Major extends, what I think, very far out from the steering gear, is there a multitude of different ones or are all the same? And if there are shorter versions, can they be fitted to a steering gear that originally had a longer arm?

As far as I know, they're all the same. The New Holland online parts catalog only lists one part number for them.

Do you have a picture or some measurements?

Unfortunately no on both questions, I just thought mine extended further out than on a couple of older Majors I've seen but I might be mistaken then...

There are two. E1ADKN3590 from 1952 to 1960 then E1ADDN3590 from 1960 till end of run.

Don't know the difference though.

Okay, I'll be somewhere today where I can compare them, will report later if there is any difference in their appearance... a qualified quess otherwise would be that the splines on the shaft of the steering gear might be different...

No measurements here, but after diving through the workshop manual I now know what the differences are...

The super major drop arm is slightly re-designed because of the new clutch pedal(if you fit the older type drop arm on a super major it will interfere with the clutch pedal)

Rear arm is the Super Major, front arm is the Major.

That explains why I thought it didn't extend as far, it's more "sloped" ;)
