Anyone know the size of the bushing for the steering shaft right before the gear? Assuming there is one. Mine is very loose and worn out

They never had a bushing for the  end of the steering column. 

I don't have a blacl hood but they are simular to the 300 and 400 series.

It may not be your problem we used a two bolt flange bearing on the upper column of 300 400 series to fix the steering column.

I used a Toro 6472 bearing as that is what I had, some use a two flangr ball bearing. That has been the fix for most of us.

If there is a lot of lose motion between steering shaft and the fan gear the fan gear shaft may need to be shimed. There is a cotter pin holding the fan gear shaft and it usually gets bent loosing the gear.

If its where I think you are describing? you can bore/drill it out to accept a bronze or steel bushing.

Yes there is a lot of play where the shaft goes through.  I don’t want it to strip the gears
