Rebuilt the steering gear last night, new bearings, new follower stud, and easy steer upgrade. Painted it, along with the fuel tank, the creeper gear, 3 point lift, and a few other parts.
I was going to take the fenders off the 147 and use them, but I think I might have an alternative nearby that can be had reasonable--will let me preserve the 147 intact.
The spring assist came, but I have another idea that will take some experimentation. If it works, it might have widespread application for cubs everywhere. More to come next week.
Off on a boating trip this weekend, once Andrea moves north, so no work on the 148R until next week. Haven't heard from the sand blaster. Need to call him.
