Much as I'd like to get the two bolts without disturbing the steering, on this tractor, there's a cast "pocket" in the steering housing that envelopes one of the bolt heads more or less. There's clearance, to be sure, but I don't think a box end or open end would be able to get on it. The bolt is also bigger than I expected...guessing a 15/16" hex head.
Looks like the hood shroud has to come off, then fish out the gas tank, then the tank bracket, then finally the steering asm.
The previous owners also threw in a nice curveball, the steering wheel is welded to the shaft, as well as the three arms being welded to the hub. I am currently without a cutoff wheel to carefully slice thru the weld but I think the center console (which holds all the gages) can stay put for now...
These steering wheels must have been a weak link, my 460U is nearly a spitting image of weldment with the three arms also welded to the center flat disk/hub.
I am taking a few pictures as I go, will post these up later.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
