Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
With all the ot I've had its hard to get motivated and get anything done..so I'm trying to get my 5min in wherever I can ..I needed to get the steering operational, so after painting the column I went ahead and stuck it together..
Somewhere way back I redid the firewall mount that holds the column..I bought a column saver to do this and of course they dont make them in a 2-1/8"..so I bought a 2-1/4" and made a spacer for it..well when i got ready to put it together i couldn't find my spacer..
sometimes around here its easier to just make something new rather than look for what I already made..
But when i was looking at it i thought ,why not just make a new swivel insert that's the correct size and not have the spacer..so that's what happened..
1.Old insert and spacer...
2.Old insert vs new
3.And installed..
Yaaah..!!!...I can turn the wheels from inside the cab...
