i forgot to add, hammerdwn, wont you need to extend either your snowblower sub frame that goes onto the tractor or your lift arms?

Lift arms on the blower and plow, driveshaft and mounts on the mower and ill probably make a 3 point mount for the tiller to work with my rear pto

Here is a few shots of the handles. nothing special. center shaft is hollow with a hole at each lever. there is a a grease fitting at one end so all levers get greased at once. I'll order some rubber grips once the tractor is painted.

heres the steering valve mount and the valve sitting in the dash tower

there is a a grease fitting

Never use the stuff. Gets my tractor all dirty and makes my hands icky.

It's amazing how many of these old tractors appear to never have had any grease pumped into the zerks when I get them. Really a good testament to how well they were built.

You got that right!

I call unused zerk fittings 'jerk fittings' cuz that describes the owners that don't use them.

Clean oil, fresh fuel and greased fittings will keep equipment going almost forever.

If they wanted them greased they could at least put them somewhere so you can at least get grease on the area intended.... I think ujoints have got to be the worst EVER! I've a ton of r&d on this and the pros and cons are endless. Personally I use them and if I think it should have one, I put one there if possible . I like Red'n Tacky from Lucas , works great and sticks and stays put! White grease or lithium is crap in my book and I stay away from it.

I use Lucas diesel treatment but I've never heard of their grease.
