Looking for Pitman arm information

Post by Craig E. Luton » Tue Nov 14, 2023 10:25 pm

The pictures are of 2 pitman arms I have. The short on is a repro and a very good looking one at that. The long one came off my 1914 steering column. The short one is the same as the one I have on my 1915. I checked the parts books and the same part number is used from 13 through 26 and appears to be the short one. Does anyone know what I have here and even if the long one is even a model T Ford? The ball on the short on is 1” and the ball on the short one appears to be 7/8”
Thank you, Craig

This comparison may help, the ball on your used one is rather worn to egg shape.

Looks like I have a 26/27 pitman arm on a 13/14 steering column, interesting.
thank you for your reply. Craig

The "ball" on the long one looks pear shaped - if so it may be worn out hence the dimension
