The floating ball-joint on the steering wishbone. The front pivot is running on a giant hex bolt with a loose bushing. It steers wild with the tires fighting each other most of the time. One of the control arms on the front kingpins is loose as a goose. The previous owner said there was a hole worn in the oil pan when he got it....:roll:
Got the loader arms off (bucket was already off) and the front tin removed. Radiator was also removed. The tractor is so heavy in the rear due to the backhoe that I have only blocked up between the loader frame and the transmission. The tractor tilted back on a concrete block under the lower hoe-boom pivot as soon as I took the loader arms off.
Front bolster is off. Front axle is just sitting there, only the control rods are still connected. My plan is to lift out the axle once the engine is out. Then I can refit the bushing and make sure the axle pivot is running smoothly and get the rear ball-joint working well too. The wishbone has apparently broken from the tube axle on both sides at some point. It looks like a reasonable job. However, I have considered adding some obtuse-angle gussetting just to make sure I don't have to do it again.

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