The power steering fluid leaked badly from the seal on the bolster

Taking this apart revealed the pivot point was really worn and would need a trip to the machine shop

A new seal fixed the fluid leak but the worn pivot points were a bigger problem

The stands I borrowed from Gary Agrimson held it nicely while the front end was being repaired

These needed cleaning, bearings, seals, and some paint

Gary Agrimson fixed up the pivot points nicely front and rear

I cleaned up and painted a proper set of front wheels

And mounted a new set of tires

The grill will need to be blasted and painted
the parts tractor it came from was quite ugly with the odd colors it was coated with

But it is shaping up nicely
