Now that I've got the 'jumps out of road gear' assortment of transmission problems straightened out it's time for the next project. The improved ability to travel at speed on our dirt roads highlights the need to replace at least the bushings and seals and probably the thrust bearing in the front end. It has the deal where when it hits a bump with the front wheels it makes a startling bang, and the cover over the worm gear has a worn spot in the center where the upper bolster pivot shaft is rubbing on it. There's only minimal play in the steering, so I think the worm and sector are alright. The I&T shop manual makes it sound as though this is a fairly simple, straight-forward chore, but it would be reassuring to hear that from someone who's actually done it. Not to mention any tips. Like: where it says "using a suitable puller, remove sector from upper bolster pivot shaft" is it going to think that my regular four-inch-or-so two or three prong gear puller is suitable? And: when I've got the sector off and I remove the lower bolster and axle, will the pivot shaft just fall out on the floor before I can catch it or will it wait until I pull on it? Will it even come out then? Should I expect the worn out old bushings just to slide out with the shaft and then easily off of it or am I living in a fool's paradise? I'm just beginning to realize how much I don't know: I do know that when I was doing the rear end work no little bit of information I got made the job harder, so anything anybody can tell me will be appreciated.

Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
