JD 1050 with power assist steering.
Bracket is attached to frame/block with long bolts, and I think spacers, although the spacers are nowhere to be found. There are other bolts holding on the bracket, so I didn't notice the steering right away.
The bolt holes seem to be stripped. Should I just get a large a__ed tap and go oversized after drilling? I have done all sorts of drilling and tapping, but never into a tractor block. The frame material is about 1/2" thick, and I suppose I could just thread that portion, or go with a Helicoil.
Any suggestions?
