Replaced the spindle bushings, and cleaned up the front axle parts in preparation for new pivot bushing.
Discovered that front axle was cracked. This tractor spent the first 40 years of its life with a front loader and large scoop, used with some pretty heavy loads of dirt and gravel. No doubt that resulted in this cracked axle.
