There is a well known Tiger person who rebuilds steering colloums. Im sure
SOMEWHERE I have his name and number. I think he used to run an add in CAT or
TE/AE. I also have no idea if he is on the LIST but one of our members surely
knows the person Im talking about. He would know more than anyone as he has
prolly rebuilt more collums than any other owners. I would think if you had a
new bearing from SS- if they are available that a sealed bearing like I think
you want to use is available. Like you mentioned, a bearng supply here in the
midwest carries about any size imanginable, including metric. If you can mic
the shaft and measure the bore- again, only guessing its the same size from
end to end, I cant imangine the bearing you seek not being sold.
Much luck.

Has anyone replace the ball bearing in the steering column (which are
apparently loose) with modern bearing? I've got a local bearing shop that
stocks nearly every standard size. I assume these can't be that bizarre a
size.
