[AT] WD45 questions

[charlie hill]

Reading it myself.  It appears they are just o-rings.  If there is anything 
left of the old ones you can probably match them up from a kit at most
any good autoparts or hardware store.  If the shaft is worn see if there is 
a Speedy Sleeve available for that size shaft.

Subject: [AT] WD45 questions

While this isn't nearly as entertaining as the recent burn-out thread the 
fact the words Allis Chalmers has come up compelled me to send this. This is 
a tractor related question.  :-)

I acquired a decent WD-45 through my dad (he did some work on another WD-45 
and got this one for his efforts) and there are a couple if things I'm 
looking to "fix".

The first item is the hydraulic valve leaks. Or I'm going to call it the 
valve as it sits on top of the pump. Is this something like an o-ring type 
repair? Here is a picture with a pointer to where the fluid is coming from 
since I find it hard to describe.

Next on the list, is the manifold has an exhaust end gasket gone so I need 
to pull it and see if it needs surfaced or just a new gasket set. The studs 
are quite rusted on the ends and I don't know that I can get the nuts taken 
off and put back on without replacing the studs. How likely are the studs to 
be seized in the head and nearly impossible to remove?

The last thing is the slop in the steering. This unit has power steering 
which is great but I'd like to tighten it up as it's pretty loose. My WC is 
tighter but even it can start to wobble when running down the road.

If can can get these items squared away it will be a nice working tractor 
and maybe one day get a fresh coat of orange with some decals!

I have an IT manual for the WC/WD/WD45 but it's not overly helpful when your 
looking deep into the details. That's where this list and it's wealth of 
knowledge really are amazing.

Thanks for any help!
Brad
