[Farmall] Steering Wheels

[Mike]

Surprisingly, rebuilding an old steering wheel in poor condition isn't 
all that difficult. Even I did it, and it didn't come out all that 
badly. The main thing is patience. See 
<http://public.fotki.com/mikesloane/other_machinery/sm_steering_wheel_1.html> 
and the two *previous* images for my efforts. I am sure that, with a 
little more effort and patience than I have/had, you could get a lot 
better results. My efforts have lasted since 2005 sitting in an open 
shed. As they say: "Your mileage may vary." Mine was an experiment to 
see what could be done with minimal skills and materials.
