[Farmall] Steering wheel repair

[Mike Schmudlach]

Eastwood  and POR15 both sell steering wheel repair kits.
I would rather spend a little extra and buy something made for the project
then spend all of my labor getting the steering wheel ready and then fixing
it with something they might not work.
