Thank you received: 0
I've installed new bearings in my D6 8U steering clutch assembly but one side has a smaller washer (1A1450) than the other side. I ordered a new washer thinking it would be larger and completely cover the bearing to prevent grease from oozing out but it's the smaller washer that leaves part of the bearing open as well. I've attached pictures that show how one washer completely covers the bearing and the other side leaves an opening. The service manual mentions later tractors had some changes. Just looking for some follow up before I re-install since removal and install is a lot of work.

Thanks.
