Bruce 1960 56 #27 Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) wallfish, thank you I would like to see that link. I was looking thru some old posts , and ran across one that a guy put brass bushing in his steering and added grease fittings, so I used his idea and put one in new steering block, I may drill pins and add them there to. I think this will help with wear. I do love this site, there are so many good idea's. I does help that I have a Bridgeport, lathe, shaper, and other tools in my garage/ shop. And I can do some " government " jobs at work!! Edited January 19, 2021 by Bruce 1960 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,023 #28 Posted January 19, 2021 Here's a link for the SS deck he made for it. There's some pics of the tractor near the end. Still looking for the tractor build thread Anything that was possible to be made out of SS it was done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce 1960 56 #30 Posted January 19, 2021 That is one nice looking tractor!! I'm not going that far, I'm just repairing or replacing worn out or broken parts. My parts are just made from 4140 steel, just harder and more wear resistant then what the Original was. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
