Finished P/S plumbing and a Bday present!
Well I think I finished up the P/S lines.. been a bit of a challenge but I learned a lot about bending and flaring tubing.. kinda fun once you get the knack of it.  hung the cylinder and hooked up the lines also.. need to get some new steering hoses made... these are hard and dry.. don't trust them.. doesn't appear that anybody still offers them pre made.. Next I guess i'll power up the pump and test for leaks.. anybody got a good way to do that without installing the engine?  .. Maybe an old driveshaft and a drill?  Open for suggestions!
Also took advantage of Aarons sale this month and bought myself a Birthday present!   Yes I know they are expensive... but I've had a thing for 23 degree Firestone's since Dad had a set on a 100 way back in 1970! We still have those but they are getting pretty old and dry!  Hands down the best looking Ag tire ever made and the best pulling in my book!  Won't be needing them for a while but now I don't have an excuse not to buy them!
