jsciutto Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Finally starting to put it together. For a while it seemed like one step forward, two steps backwards. I am amazed by the engineering that went into these tractors. Very well designed and easy to work on. I am trying a graphite coating on the steering gears. I had a spray can and figured "why not". It took forever to get all the old grease out of them. There is definitely a unique odor to old grease. I'm glad I found this group. Great deal of information that is freely passed around. Thanks everyone for sharing. 4
PhanDad Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Nice work. It's going to be as good as when it came from the factory. 1

ShaunE Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Love the job you're doing. Just an idea if you are working on the steering sector, you may want to consider this update... https://simpletractors.com/forums/topic/24786-steering-box-rehabilitation/?tab=comments#comment-319661 2
jsciutto Posted June 5, 2019 Author Posted June 5, 2019 Thanks for the feedback. In looking at the re-build article, I may be missing a spacer/bushing. I was going to try and add the thrust bearings. I may need to pull it out and re-assess it. Back to one step forward..... I was looking as some of the photos I took before and had forgotten how dirty it was when I started. 1
