Bought some new cylinder packings. The right stabilizer has been leaking down. Got it repaired.
New King pin bushings arrived made a bushing driver on the lathe and removed old installed new. I had to order an adjustable reamer to final size the bushings to the king pins, Amazon had one for $25 worked well. New king pin pivot bearings installed as well. No play at all and smooth steering action.
Next I still have 2 leaking gland nuts on the right side FEL curl and lift cylinders. Have the seal kits.
Finally Almost a leak free old TLB. Yay. Universal tractor hydraulic oil is getting more expensive than just fixing the leaks.
