Good morning!!!!

The Farmall project is up and going. The HF tall jack stands worked perfect. However I'm stuck because I can't get the Steering arm to slide off. There is a keyway on the new part (used) but I don't know if it is a separate key or part of the shaft or if it makes a difference. How do you get it off???? I thought once I got the nut off, I could tap it down, but it did not budge.

You need some type of puller it seems. It looks like a tapered fit, which will take a puller or possibly some strategic tapping on it's side.

Your old one also has the key way. I'm going to say the shaft has a half moon key in it. Could be wrong but no key coming out it the bolt. The old ones no good so if a bearing puller won't get it, I'd just cut it off and roll on. Applying some heat to the steering arm but no letting the shaft get hot might also free it up.

Don, did you try a wedge fork? Laymans term, the tool one uses to remove tie rods, and ball joints. If that won't do it then I would cut the old one off. The extension legs look good on the table, are you going to Lacquer them?

Drew, brakes on a wagon are to keep the horse from going to fast like when they think they are going home or if something spooks the horse. They also keep the wagon/buggy from pushing the horse. I know others can explain Hyd. vs Electric in more detail, but simply put... Electric brakes assist in stopping, Hydraulics will lock up the wheels

Kev T, if wagon has standard electric brakes. The controller I linked with a foot switch should work well. It will need to be mounted in a waterproof container.Good Morning All.

I am not sure what you are suggesting, but I am all ears

Roy, glad thing worked out for the better even at a disappointing cost
