slammer302 2,156 #2 Posted October 20, 2017 Sounds like the steering gear and fan gear are not meshing properly or teeth are worn on one or both. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R. L. Addison 299 #3 Posted October 20, 2017 Your bevel (pinion) gear is jumping over the tooth in the fan gear. These can be shimmed & the steering gear maybe moved down (if it has moved up over a period of time) or if it hasn't been serviced (greased) properly the bracket may be worn badly. Also the fan gear could have a chipped tooth (or worn). They can sometimes be beyond repair & need replacement. Only you can make that determination. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ericj 1,578 #7 Posted October 20, 2017 I've seen the block broken and in one case of one tractor that I had, it had been brazed repaired, I believe I remember of a tractor or two C series skipping like that. eric j 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
