The play on the power steering cylinder at the rear....tighten the bolt going through the bracket and that play will go away. They loosen up over time. As for the pins that go through the parts of the axle, they get worn out and at last check they're no longer available, but you can get some hardened steel rod the right diameter and cut to length for those. And lastly, your front PTO belts need to be "Matched" sets. If one is even 1/16" longer, you'll get some strange harmonics going on and it'll keep throwing belts even when the rest of the set up is spot on. Just a little know how from the guy with all the Sunstar's. lol Cheers Arch! Zip~
I ordered some belts,, in the meantime if it snows I'm covered! I will check that bolt for tight, I thought I did about a year or so ago,, Awesome on the pins!! Ohh the list is adding up! Thanx!!!
We outsource to countries who ultimately create more pollution and lesser quality products all in the name of big corporations profit margins. It has nothing to do with the USA being a clean air country. I was a UAW employee when NAFTA happened and am a product of corporate down sizing and outsourcing. The Government stepped in with corporate backing to "justify" closing down thousands of factories full of proud UAW workers who produced the best quality products in the world all in the name of higher profits. Tens of Millions of Blue Collar Jobs, gone. This effectively eliminated the "Upper Middle Class" widening the gap between White Collar and Blue Collar Americans. So I broach this subject.....Did prices come down as a result of labor costs being reduced by 70%? Oh, hell no! It just increased profits for the big corporations. You can't get a dependable vehicle anymore and forget finding replacement parts like Delco, Mastercraft or Mopar that are Made In The USA. It's a serious problem and we're giving up our ability and freedom to stand as a nation that is self sufficient. Look at all of the vehicles without those Chinesium Chips during the Covid lock down. We're Screwed at the hands of our own Government and it's constant overreach policies.
Yup!!!!! Don't get me started lol We are the same age I bet,,,I often tell the story; as young man sitting on my friends lawn arguing with his dad over Clinton/Nafta/Gat,,,,and how bad it would be! Then many years later, sitting in his office and he telling me how bad it is and how he is selling out to a Canadian firm! The powers that be were never happy with a middle class!~ It was the 1st time in history and there wont be another if people don't wake up!
