Steering Parts Needed 1922 Studebaker Light Six Model EJ

[George Rohrbach]

I am restoring my Steering Cross Tube and Steering Reach Rod, on my 1922 Studebaker Light Six Model EJ. I am in need of some of the internal parts. Some of mine are extremely worn, broken, or were replaced by the wrong part in the past.

  Most of these parts were used from at least 1919 to 1924, and a few even later. They were only on the Light Six, as the Special Six/Big Six are similar but larger versions.

NOS is preferred, but used is fine also.

I would be happy, if rather than individual parts, someone had a used whole Steering Cross Tube and Steering Reach Rod, complete. However, I don't need the actual tube and rod themselves.

  Pics show dimensions, as there were 3 different cross tube styles. I have not been able to match them up to other makes.

Perhaps I have made this too complicated.

I need a steering cross tube (long rod goes almost wheel to wheel) and reach rod (drag link) for a Studebaker 1920's Light Six!

One idea would be to take all the parts somewhere that services tractors.  The internals of your rod end look just like the reach rod on my tractor.

Checkout the Studebaker page and the Steering page on https://www.vintagepartsource.com , parts suppliers listed that might have the parts you need and also some rebuilders listed for steering components.

From what I can tell, The steering cross tube parts will work (at least some of the parts) from Light Six - 1919 SH, 1920, 1921, 1922 EJ. Also 1923 and 1924 EM. But not from 1925 and up. My books do not list before 1919, but the earlier years might be usable also.

 

  The reach rod would help out from 1919 SH, 1920, 1921, 1922 EJ. Also 1923 and 1924 EM. And also the 1925 to 28 ER and EU. (This is the Standard Six model, that is the continuation of the Light Six. The big thing on those is the Ball Bolt, that attaches the reach rod to the Pitman Arm.

 

    I am now  also looking for a couple of wheel rims from the 1925 to 1929 ER and EU. The rims are the same on the wood, and disc wheels, from what I can tell.

I had a fellow Reo owner have a 1932 Reo steering gear rebuilt at Lares.

 

They might have the small parts ?

 

A very detailed description of your parts needed by the way. 

 

For all the other parts maybe the suggestions above will help you out.

That ball stud (32038) has a similar looking part common from 1913-1918 but a different part number... maybe just a simple dimension but may also be a different taper. You can always try one if you find it.

All steering parts that were needed have been found. Thanks to all!
