Hi Jim,

Those front ends are a stinker even if you move 'em all the time and I don't think it matters which tractor you tackle; they are all nasty.

What I used to do, is to first loosen the cinch bolts, soak 'em down good with penetrating oil for a couple of days; maybe even a week if you have the time.

Then, the key is to get them to move "out" first. I'd lay a handyman jack on it's side and jack that big tube out against itself. (hope that makes sense). And then use a little hydraulic jack and some blocking on those tie rods in the same manner.

Also, take a big bar and get the thing to rotate. After you get it to move any at all, the fight is just about won.

Pull each side clear outta the front end, clean the tube and tie rods up, oil 'em a little and then they will just "fall" back in there.

Good luck,

Allan
