Thanks Paul! It had been slow going for a while, but it's coming together again now. The next major hurdle is steering, I need to make a new steering shaft to go around my manifolds. I can't find a bearing that I need to replace in the steering box, but once I have, I'll be able to tackle that.

Thanks man, I appreciate that! Still picking away at it!

Thanks! It's coming along. Too bad it's hunting season now though, so life is on hold for a little while ;)

Thanks! If it wasn't for an issuing I'm having finding some steering parts, specifically a bearing, I think I might have been able to get mine to move this year under its own power

What kind of bearing is it? Last winter I sleeved a couple ball roller bearings to replace the obsolete output bearings in a transfer case. Purchased new bearings with correct width and inner dimensions and sleeved the outer on a lathe. Worked great. Wonder if that could done for your situation?

@@ponway unfortunately, it's a taperd roller bearing. I can find the outter seat no problem, but not the bearing number. Even took it to a bearing shop and had no luck. I may put up a post on one of the forms and see if I can have it identified, or maybe just buy one off someone. Absolute worst case, I guess I could replace the steering box, but we'll cross that bridge only if we have to

@@RustRehab how involved is it to get to? Maybe I could look at mine and see if I could find a number, probably the same steering gear.

@@ponway there are 2 in the steering box, one on the top and one on the bottom. I seem to remember there being just a few bolts and a plate to remove at the bottom, but I could be mistaken. I was suprised My bearing place couldn't just get the dimensions off it and order a new one based off that
