If you’ve noticed steering play or heard that creaking sound when you turn the wheel, it might not be your steering box—it could be a worn grommet where the steering column passes through the firewall. This little rubber piece keeps the steering shaft aligned and cushions vibration, but after 70+ years on some of these old workhorses, they crack and deteriorate. When that happens, you’ll feel every bump in the steering wheel and might even get dust and debris working its way into the cab.
What You’re Getting
- Direct replacement for the original Ford grommet—no modifications needed
- Quality rubber construction that handles temperature swings and vibration
- Proper fit that keeps the steering column centered and protected
- Seals out dust, moisture, and debris from entering the cab area
Built for Real Farm Work
This grommet fits both the Ford NAA (Golden Jubilee) and standard Jubilee tractors from 1953-1954. These were Ford’s utility workhorses of the era, and many are still earning their keep on small farms and homesteads today. Whether you’re using yours for hay work, gardening, or general farm chores, a tight-fitting grommet keeps your steering smooth and your cab cleaner.
Made to Last
TISCO builds this grommet from quality rubber compound that stays flexible in cold weather and won’t crack from engine heat. It’s designed to handle the constant movement and vibration that comes with farm work, plus resist the oil and grease that’s part of tractor life.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward but you’ll need to pull the steering wheel to get to it. While you’re in there, it’s a good time to check your steering box adjustment and grease the steering components. The old grommet might be stuck pretty tight—a little penetrating oil and patience usually does the trick.
