Hello YT!
We're pretty new to tractors and amateur mechanics.
We bought a 1958 TO-35 with a leak right under the oil seal. Searching the forums, there were a few other folks with the same problem, but not much information on how to fix it.
We downloaded a manual and found an exploded diagram of the steering assembly. We guessed it was the upper oil seals that had gone bad and ordered a "Steering Sector Hardware And Seal Kit" from external_link
We got the steering wheel off but our steering assembly doesn't match the exploded diagram we have or match (it seems) the seals we received in the kit.
Here's an album with photos and more notes:

Maybe we have the wrong diagram? Ordered the wrong kit? The steering is not original?
It seems like an easy repair if we had the right information and parts. Can you kind folks help us?
Thanks!
Kent and Aubrey
