I had to weld around the original hole then grind it back out until it fit properly. Then I made some reinforcements to try to hold the center ram a bit more solid.
I can’t seem to get the photo to attach..?
It’s basically just a 1/4” plate shaped slightly larger then the original ones. The center hole is a bit smaller and the outside is large enough to use the frame to help keep the ram centered. The picture is on my phone so I’ll try to post it again.

Got around to replacing my steering ram brackets. The right side bracket was bent allowing both sides to move around. Its not too bad of a job, just a little tedious getting up and down on my knees for a ~75 YO. I am considering replacing the right side tie rod. There appears to be no grease in any of them.

BTW, I think its a really weak design for a tractor.
