To do the 2000/3000 driveline upgrade, I ordered from ‘Parts by Jeff’ in PA his CV adapter kit. Should have everything by end of next week. In meantime was able to mockup the drive line in order fab the ps pump mount bracket.
Now knowing where ps pump will be locate, can extend the steering column since the JD 318 column is only about 12”. Replace the steering shaft bushing with a piece of tubing to splice new tubing to column. Used 8 3/4” length of McMaster-Carr #776T171 1-1/2” OD, 0.049” wall, low-carbon steel round tubing. Found that exhaust tubing being slightly smaller OD. The JD 318 column OD measured 1.510”.
