The right steering bar is alway hitting the altinater which is after market 12 volt system it sits aprroximately in the same place as the original. The original generator had marks where it had been being hit also. [Reply]   [No Email]

I don't use the tractor much but it gets real annoying when I do and it knocks my altinater loose. I think it is definetly a problem in this area. Thought my oil fill tube was just vibrating out but think it is beeing knock out buy the left steering rod also. I will jack it up and check it out when I have a chance. [Reply]  [No Email]

The front bolster where the pin rides can get wallowed out from wear, too. The extra slop allows the axle to move upward too far and hit things, like the distributor cap on front mounts. Try dacking up the front of the tractor by the oil pan and moving the axle to check for slop. [Reply]  [No Email]
