Thanks for the info. Guess the weakness of this model is the steering. I found a replacement, and it costs a fortune but I got to do it. I need that tractor running again! Hoping this time it lasts for a long time. The salvage guys that sent me the smaller assembly wanted me to drill the holes out (3/8 to 1/2) and put that one on. Maybe it would work, but since the parts on it are smaller, It would seem to me to be not only underpowered but also would wear out that much faster, especially with the loads I put on it.
Funny thing is that I went a long time without problems (maybe 12 or 15 years) before I had problems with the steering. I suspect it might have to do with the way it was replaced. Perhaps it was put back incorrectly and the shock of the turning of the wheel was somehow transmitted back to the piston in the assembly?
I want to put this back together properly so this will last another 15 years with only o-rings having to be replaced!
Your info is greatly appreciated. I am beginning to understand it.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
