M6060 HDC steering column help

[chucho23]

My M6060 HDC has a lot of wobble in the steering column. I just bought it and am trying to get it up and going. I've torn it apart and it appears to have been repaired on the engine side of the fire wall. Is there anyone who has an M6060 or 7060 who would have expertise or pictures as to what this is supposed to look like that could help me out? I've looked at all the diagrams I can find to try to figure out what parts to order and have come up empty. I've checked the steering column and the u-joints and the joints seem to be fine. There is just excessive wobble in the shaft when the wheel is turned. Thanks.

Does your model have a cab?

One thought would be that bushing #30 is missing. Have you added the silicone or is that the previous owner?

This is bushing #30

I looked through the WSM. Surprisingly little info.

Remove steering wheel.............. no comment on how to do only torque for nut when reinstalling.

And to access the steering column support:

The cab model appears a little different with two bushings #60 but in truth I really dont know if they support the steering shaft.

Good luck. Sorry not able to be of more help.
