RAParts 1981225C1 11pc Steering Sector Rebuild Kit - Farmall Fit

In this review of the RAParts 1981225C1 11pc Steering Sector Rebuild Kit the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, value-focused aftermarket kit for owners restoring steering assemblies on classic Farmall tractors. The reviewer found the kit best suited to mechanics and vintage tractor owners who need a complete bushing, bearing and seal set to rebuild the steering sector on models A, AV, Super A and the 100/130/140 series. The single biggest reason to buy is the comprehensive nature of the kit, which saves time sourcing multiple parts while meeting or exceeding OEM specifications.

Key Features

• Complete 11-piece kit: Includes bushings, bearings, gaskets and seals so a full steering sector rebuild can be completed with one purchase.
• Aftermarket built to spec: Parts are made to meet or exceed manufacturer OEM specifications so fit and durability are the primary focus.
• OEM reference numbers included: Provided part numbers make cross-checking with original components straightforward before ordering.
• Engineered repairs required: Bushings must be honed or reamed to size on installation, so final fitment is adjustable for precise steering play.
• Stock image caution: Images may be generic, which encourages buyers to verify fit against their tractor model prior to installation.

Who It's For

The kit is aimed at owners and independent mechanics working on International Harvester and Farmall tractors - specifically models A, AV, Super A, Super AV, and the 100, 130 and 140 series - who prefer a single-source rebuild solution. It suits restorers who have the tooling or shop access to hone and ream bushings during installation.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners who expect ready-to-install press-fit bushings without machining, or anyone unable to verify correct part numbers against their tractor; the listing explicitly asks buyers to confirm fit before ordering.
