C-120 upper steering shaft

[Keith 21]

What other models can I use the upper steering shaft for my C-120?   

 

Are there aftermarket steering wheels for this tractor?

What's the model number (ID tag), or what's the year?

Your steering wheel has a 3/4" hole for the shaft  and is drilled across the shaft for a roll pin to attach it. most any wheel (except 953, 1054, GT-14 and "D") will work. Most upper steering shafts will work if the length is the same or close enough to get the job done.

Why are you replacing the shaft?

The previous owner couldn't get the steering wheel removed.   He attached a large nut and steered the tractor with a wrench - like a tiller lever.

Now that has to be a first.     .     How is the nut attached...to the wheel or the shaft?

It sits in the seat.

Now Ed,  don't judge.   Elmer Pond started  with tiller steering

All in good fun, other Ed.  My very first Wheel Horse had a custom-built half-a-spoke-no-outer-rim steering wheel, at least after I "fixed" it.

The Workhorse 700 that I sold at the big show this year had a 10" screw driver as the steering device when I picked it up. 

By the way, I may have a steering shaft. Will check the shed later.

Sorry, no upper, only lower. Must have should the uppers at the big show.

I do have several upper and lower shafts, but I would like to see what he actually has.  The problem may be fixable with a piece of 3/4" CRS  and a connecting sleeve.
