Might have found a solution. Thanks to all.

When tractor is driven over rough terrain then spindle would have vertical play/movement. Critical that nut makes solid connection.

The threads were damaged only because the sector gear had to be taken off several times to gain access to the eccentric bushing in an unsuccessful attempt to minimize steering wheel travel and front end play. A 2lb. brass hamer was placed over the castle nut and struck with a 2lb. hammer until...

Thanks for the reply. Would it be possible to talk on the phone, where are you located?

Hi. you mentioned some options possible should the spindle be taken out of the tractor. Would like to hear your thoughts please. Thanks in advance.

Hi. I'm trying to find options to fix the issue without having a big self inflicted project. I'm working in a shed where the tractor is parked. As a last resort I thought of parking the tractor under a tree and hoisting the front up then slide the spindle out. Yes, that exploded view you found...

It is a tight area to work so that is why I was thinking the hollow mill head. The top vertical end of the spindle is threaded to presently accept a 3/4" castle nut which holds down a sector gear which is slid on to the spindle having splines.

Hi. Would a hollow mill head be the tool for my needs? I have a vertical steering spindle on a John Deere B tractor of which approximately the top 2 1/2" of threads are stripped. The threads have been re cut once already, now stripped. There is a washer atop then a 3/4" castle nut. By using the...

I've noticed the brass jaws after belt sanding/dressing up the tops of the jaws to eliminate hacksaw gauges. The jaw face/teeth appear to be steel colored. I'll put a magnet on it in different spots and see what is what. Thanks Shiftless. CPV

Hi. I have a Parker vise 974. When cleaning up the top of the jaws, they appear to be made of brass. Are all Parker jaws brass or are some or all brass with a steel shell, at least in the teeth area? CPV

Hi Marty. Interested in the screw/approximately 14" and handle. Please message me. Thank you Marty.

Hi Jack. I know how disheartened you must feel. I felt that way when I acquired an abused Parker vise not long ago. Someone obviously beat on it and with a cracked slide it still worked. It was mashed in places. I sold it eventually only because it would never look any better while making some...

Hi. Would like to buy the spindle (apx. 14 1/4" long) including the handle for my Parker vise 974 or 974 1/2. PM me if possible with cost including apx. shipping. Thank you

Hi all. Need a screw/handle for a Parker Vise 974 except 974 1/2, 954, 954 1/2 should work.
