Yesterday I welded up the Quietline cradle mod cross bar and painted it this morning. While the motor is out, I am going after a couple things that need attention . The steering box has just a little slop in it so I pulled that out , hope to get that apart tomorrow, then went in to fix the slop in the hyd. control linkage. O boy, here we go. The arm that comes off the lever shaft has been molested by a PO. Looks like it should have a role pin through it but has been replaced by a motorcycle chain connector link that has wallered out the hole.
Couldn't get it out because couldn't get a solid enough hit with a punch against it without it bending the shaft at the waller hole. [the chain link, i'm talking about]. Ended up sawing the shaft in two to get it out. In the vice I was able to get the link out ok, Tomorrow I will weld the shaft back together and weld and redrill the waller hole. That's all for now.
