cleaning up the steering gear



some of the mount bolts had their nuts seized on



ran tap and die over the bolts and nuts




Loctite



set in place on studs

The photos are so clear and detailed it really tells the story.

thx!

so did a little tonight...

rusty metal primer on some bare metal on steering gear



then Kubota blue



then onto more hyd lines...
this one was tough, as it was squeezed in there tight



then got the other side that goes to the cooler



power steering hyd return line...



then got the hard line onto the power steering..thankfully I didn't bolt down the steering gear, as I had to rock it back to get everything started and bolted up...





my dog "buddy" keeping me company the whole time



more later

Great job that's well documented. Keep an eye on Buddy---my dog used to steal parts.

I bet. Probably hard on the teeth.

My dog used to watch me for extended periods of time. You know, looking for a scratch or whatever. The minute my back was turned he would make off with the goods.

that is funny...He probably just wanted more attention, ha ha

well been working on some other stuff and traveling a little...but the great thing is that I haven't stopped thinking about the tractor...and couldn't wait to get back to it

I test fitted some stuff as I'm not 100% on how it all goes back together and will have to do some figuring...

the fuel tank sits on a metal shelf, which I painted...


sits about right there, and attaches with four bolts to clutch cover...



then the tank goes on top...



then the center console.


and I seem to be running a tap and die through every bolt/bolt hole on this thing..I hate forcing bolts/nuts when the threads are rusted/clogged



it is coming along, and cant wait to hit it again tomorrow night
