    Can you tell me the bearing p/n's he uses?

    Will do Howard. It's at Brian Hainer's right now. I wanted him to take a look at it. I'll shoot him a TM and get the information for you.

    I just tried to look them up on the Web, but no dice. I'll get a photo of them when I retrieve the part from Brian.

    Thanks!

    I think I found it in the Timken roller bearing catalog, LM11948 inner & LM11910 race; .75" bore & 1.781" outer.

    Reason I ask is that I finally got myself a mill & one of the projects I acquired it for is to try to do a roller conversion. I've actually been eying an A6075/A6157 (.75"/1.625") combination or possibly LL52549/LL52510 which is a 7/8"/ 1.657". I didn't think there would be enough meat left in the bellcrank shoulders with the 11910 race but it's bigger than the 52510 so there may be hope for that or some of the larger diameter 3/4" bore combos.. :)

    Thanks again,

    H.

    I looks like the pitman arms are different does that affect anything?

    Bill's Jeep Specialist's Used the Hudson Steering With the 196 , 232 , 258 , L 134 , F134

    And 225 V6 , These engines were used in CJ3B and CJ5 Jeeps.


    Hudson Made 2- sizes of Steering Gear the one above looks like the small box , Bill

    used the large Box. Along with the Hudson Steering He used the Bell Crank from

    1 St Gear .

    The Bell Crank back then was made by Harry Bussard . Not Sure The Spelling

    is correct on the last Name.

    The First 3 Engines listed were Rambler Engines Back Then.

    Bill specialized in the rambler 6 engine in Jeeps.

    IIRC the 196 is the 4-main-bearing Rambler inline 6 that came before the 199/232 that was AMC's main offering in the 60s. Also came as a flat-head version ... that's going back quite a ways!
