B7100 steering issues

[seanbarr]

I'm at my wit's end. When I acquired my tractor at the beginning of this year, I rebuilt my steering box carefully and had to get a new steering shaft from eBay because the old had worn down bearing raceways. The new rebuild lasted about 25 hours before it started acting up. I tore it down and found ball bearings that popped out of the worm gear box. Inspection of the insides showed damage.

Is there ANYBODY who can rebuild this so I could have a functioning unit? I don't know if it has to do with the quality of the steering shaft.

Please help & advise.

The dealer will sell a rebuild kit with everything you need to replace inside. Same thing happened to my B6100 a few years ago. Replaced it all at one time and its been fine ever since.
