(6472) and the upper shaft that the steering wheel attaches to...... i replaced the factory arrangement here with a 6472. under this circled area you would have a cotter pin through the shaft or a locked collar that is used to limit the amount of travel up and down. there are washers to take up the gap here on the shaft. if none, some could be added here or if a locked collar it could be snugged up against the bearing.... usually older well used tractors have a lot of sideways movement here as well. and replacement of the bearing/ fixing of the hogged out hood stand hole is needed. my fix with the 6472 bearing took care of this sideways movement....
