I finally got electric PTO clutch bearing installed, air gap set, and remounted last week. So I belted up my good Haban 325 deck and had my way with the lawn yesterday. Tractor ran well. Hydro is strong and hydraulics are stout. One fan blade is missing. I detect a vibration. Not sure if just the fan blade would do it.
The steering was atrocious. I spent a couple hours this morning replacing tie rod ends and steering cylinder Heim joints. Then both front rims got new wheel bearings. Did the left steering knuckle side last. The steering knuckle had horrible slop to it. The grease zerk would not take grease yesterday during pre flight. Found the issue. Sloppy cast iron let the top split bronze bushing wander down. I had some new bushings from Motion Industries. All is better now. Hoping to get new axle pivot bolt in after squeezing the channel this coming week along with adjusting the axle slop-stop bolts out front. If I make this too nice and I'll want to keep it....
