I started taking my 1450 apart because the engine was burning oil. But then I figured I would just go through the whole thing. The engine is at the machine shop for a clean up, 10 over on the cylinder wall and 10 under on the crank, head surfaced and valves reground. I hope to get it back this weekend, and put it back together.
Steering is rebuilt and upgraded. Front axle fittings and spindles cleaned and re-greased, new ball joints. Rear end seals replaced clean and painted. Frame was all steamed cleaned sanded and repainted.
Its starting to all come together now!

That's looking really great Mike. I had to tear mine down to do the trunion. I use it to plow snow and it got to the point I couldn't back it out of a snow bank :biggrin2.gif:
I then decided to redo the steering, you could turn it a quarter of a turn before it would engage. I am doing the super steering upgrade with the thrust bearing and put a bearing in the top of the steering column I fabbed up. My column came right out of the steering head so I made a new one:

My front left tire always looked like it was bent in so I took it off last night and yep, the spindle's bent. Somebody evidently has replaced one of them because it doesnt match the other.
I keep leaking oil all over the floor and I figure I might as well fix it right and then repaint it before the rust gets it. I love the hydraulics for the snow blade and it has saved me a ton of work.
How many cans have you used so far and are you sanding everything down with wet sandpaper?
Thanks,
