Default A Witch or a lathe

George you either have a witch or a lathe at home because you turned things into other things! I'm assuming it is a lathe although my wife can turn me into bad things with just her voice. I too have a lot of steep hills and that may be an option if I meet a friendly machinist. I was thinking of cutting off a little of the ram stroke rod and threading it a little more towards the cylinder. That would be something that A I can do at home. Would there be a problem with anything if I did that? Also, on my 1862 front axle the steering arm is not at 90 degrees to the wheel when straight. It is about twenty degrees toward the front when the wheel is going straight ahead. In the instructions for the PS kit for the 82 series it says to make sure that the arm is in line with the axle when the wheel is forward. I also found a supplier today here in Atlanta. I went to Garinger's first and the guy sent me to American Hose where they had EVERYTHING I will ever need plus hard lines and all of the fittings needed to finish the job. They are about half the price of Garinger's.
