This post is actually about my neighbor's Ford 2120. He was out pushing a pile of brush and lost all control of steering. I went over and looked under the tractor and the steering cylinder was disconnected from the chassis. All the lines are still intact but the bracket that connects the cylinder to the chassis is gone along with the bolts that hold it in. I have searched the Internet and I can't find a name for that bracket or a part number. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Here are some pix. Sorry, kind of dark, plus I'm not sure what exactly you need to see. I can get my creeper out and crawl under for something better tomorrow if you need it. Guess they'll have to go one at a time, TBN won't take the group.
There's a Conway next town over here in MA, was why I was curious.

You can see that's a grease fitting that's easy to miss. I think I have a few time. Glad to help.

Same thing happened to my Ford 1920 except I was plowing snow. Found all parts except one bolt. Learned soon after I purchased this tractor to frequently retighten those two bolts and apply loctite.
