On the steering shaft at the light bar post are 2 collars with set screws on them. Loose the 2 allen screws on the collar towards the front of the tractor and move it foward about 6 inches. Remove hood and grill. Loosen the bolt on the u joint that is in the steering shaft. You may need to use a sharp chisel to spread the knuckle a little. Take a hammer and blunt chisel and drive the u-joint off of the worm gear shaft. Lot's of penetrating oil and heat may be needed. This is a keyed shaft so don't try to rotate it to get it loose. Once this is separated remove the large cap that is located on the front top of the front bolster. This is what holds the worm gear shaft in place. Clean the shaft up as well as you can and use some oil to keep from damaging the seal in the front bolster. If you ding the shaft with the pipe wrench use a file to knock off the sharp edges before you pull them through the seal. Use a pipe wrench to turn the shaft and once the worm gear disengages it will pull out the front of the tractor. Put some grease on the keyed shaft at the u-joint when you reassemble. It will make it much easier to get apart next time. Some tips: Replace the seal that the shaft goes through. Cheap and easy to do with the radiator removed. The seal is readily available from the dealer. Sand,clean up, and lubricate the shaft before pushing it through the new seal. Pull the top cover and determine what if any lubricant is in the gear box. Mine was dry and dirty. I cleaned it up and packed with grease. Originally they had gear oil in them. Install or replace the thermostat. Easy with the radiator removed. PIA when you have to take everything apart to do it later. Hope this helps.

In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
