taper
It has been 55+ years since I had to do trig. I wear very large
"L" plates when working my lathe. I have to make an inside tapered sleeve to repair the steering ball taper on my tractor to compensate for 46 years of wear. I have replaced the Tie rod end, however the wear is in the steering arm part, which is why I have to make a sleeve. I will bore out the steering arm and fit the sleeve which will match the tie rod end taper. Tractor is 1964 Fordson Super Major - Ford 5000 in USA ? Fitted with Eaton power steering unit. Dimensions of the taper are top 19 mm (0.75 inch) diameter bottom 16 mm (0.63 inch) diameter length between top & bottom 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) How do I calculate the degrees so I can set the compound to cut the taper ? Thanks Alan |
