just as a follow up the way i ' designed it the steering is shearing my grade 2 bolt at the tire end it had happened 2 times now alot better that brusting up th tractor. On a personal note my sholder and neck have never felt better. Ido alot of tractor work, over 100 hours per year and the poor steering was takig its toll.

Which bolt is shearing? I am wondering if your cylinder length is longer than the 'lock to lock' distance the drag link needs to move?

the shear bolt is at wheel end of cylinder the ram is jut a 1/2" longer than lock to lock. i just wanted to make sure that the tractor will not be hurt at all grade 2 blot alot cheaper than a front hub assy

I wish you had done that about 2 years ago so I would not have had to buy a B7510.

My B7100 only had 1,000 hours on it and it was a real workhorse. It would have been all the tractor I would have ever needed if it had power steering.

Great set up and you sure can't complain about the price. Thanks for the write up. Even though my B7100 is long gone it was interesting reading for me.
