Hey everyone.
New to the forum and to the vintage tractor world. So far I am enjoying it. I have a TO30 that I have cracked the steering box housing. I have a new one on the way and figure it is probably best to rebuild most of the steering components to take a lot of the slop out of the steering system (said slop definitely contributed to the cracked housing).
I have already rebuilt the steering shaft and bearings down from the steering wheel so it is nice and tight. I have ordered steering box seals, outer bushings, both front hub rebuild kits (bearings, seals and such), both spindle rebuild kits, front and rear tie rod ends, as well as rear tie rod boots.
So two questions:
1. will the front tie rod end come with the boot/dust protector? (looks like it in the picture)
2. does it sound like I am missing anything to make the steering system nice and tight again?
Thanks
