worked on it all day, now the ?'s

[krhoover]

I worked on that 1450 all day, got a lot done. Found out that I didn't need new king pin bushings, the holes were the 1/2" bolt goes thru the A frame was wore out of round, got that welded up and good to go, Didn't need wheel bearings either, the wheel bearing spindels wore also, welded and filed, polished and got a snug fit on the bearings. Now for that trunion repair. I have read and reread the posts and the links for the repair, but have some questions yet. Some repairs say to fill in the corners were the end caps have cut a groove in, one link says to use 5/32 key stock to build a rectangle back around the bracket. (I like that one the best) Am I closing in that rectangle to fit the spring and cap ass'ly? Does anyone know what the dimensions of the rectangle should be when finished? Does the large spring touch against the end caps when in place in the trunion arm? I read about putting shims between the large spring and the end caps(I think). Does any repair need to be done on the bracket arm that fits over the trunion arm (pic of it on the tire) I am going to post some pics, I hope it works. Thanks to all that have gave info on all my questions since getting this tractor.
