Vrobert,

You've got a great friend!

Give that 1811 the lovin' it deserves. Do everything the folks here told you to do.

I suspect the steering is mainly a lube issue. I pull the steering wheel off my cubs and squirt some Teflon lube down the steering wheel shaft and put some moly graphite in the top bushing.

As for a rust preventative: I use motorcycle chain lube. It goes on thin and dries really tacky to keep moisture out. (Hey, chain lube may help your tie rod ends out!)

Congrats!

PeterJ
