    Your oil leak at the steering arm , try tightning the 4 bolts first , there is a gasket behind the circular hold down ring . Pop the ring off and use it as a template to make a new gasket .

      Thanks. I still have not fixed this. Sadly the steering gearbox broke last season.

    When you replace those gaskets on steering box, after you remove those big nuts that holds the Pitman arms on the shaft. USE A CENTER PUNCH to make a mark on Both the shaft and the Pitman Arm ON BOTH SIDES of steering box so that when reassembling they will be in the correct position. Those arms and shaft has fine splines that are tapered and will most likely need a puller to get the Arms off the shaft. Also there are seals in the covers where the shaft for the Pitman Arms comes out of the steering box that will need to be replaced, may as well do it when replacing the gaskets.

    Just what I needed to watch. I have the same problem on my ‘52.
    I hope you install an override clutch adapter in that PTO output. 😉

    You can fill that steering box with John Deere corn head grease and it won't leak very damn much after that and use it for a long time it's like Snapper "00" grease.

    Reseal after cleaning steering box, pack all gear ends with fresh grease and watch how the Armstrong steering unit turns then. The left rear rim needed that valve stem replaced first but could be just the schrader valve itself.

      When I used to do tire work at tire please and family junkyard did at least 100 tires we at the junkyard and we all way keep a lot around some time we had to pull a tire and rim for a customer and if it just needs the vale we replace with used one

    The left side was not leaking anymore because the oil lever is now below the seal-or walrus...

      Troy, good decision. Since investing in cryptocurrency is extremely risky. One question... Do you have to convert the cryptocurrency to real money before paying the bills?
