How To Make An 18 Automatic Into A 23 Automatique LSE

:bow1 Lookin real fine!!

Just picked up the parts from the chrome shop, will try to get some pictures uploaded later. The 2 discs for the turning brakes, the block-off plate and the 2 cups under the hydro control valves. Turned out very good.

Here are some pics of the parts I had chromed. Block-off plate, cups under control valves and discs.
It is nigh unto impossible to get good pics of chrome parts with my cell phone cam.

They look great and so very very nice too..................

Looking good Mark. This tractor will really be a show piece.

More bling for the chrome pony, your are the Rembrandt of restoration.

Thanks gentlemen, I finally have the second pair of hubs removed from the axles. I took them over to my neighbors' who has a 12-ton press; however, it would not even budge them. So I then proceeded to take them to a repair shop that had a 200-ton press. Needless to say, they were out the next day, oh and no heat, just a bit of penetrating oil and a lot of squeaking, + $40.00 (he wanted $50.00). I didn't take any pics, maybe after I get the paint on. Not much of an update but I just wanted to add this.

Some of those axle hubs can be a real pain, glad you saved them.

Just took two of the back tires/wheels to a couple of tire shops. One was mounted; but, the area where the valve stem hole was welded shut, was ground down a bit too far so it leaked. Having this dismounted so it can be rewelded. The other has a bit of bead damage and both shop workers advised get a new tire or use a tube. A Carlisle Trac-Cheif in a 27 x 8.5 - 15 (6 plies) doesn't come cheap. Hoping to have the wheel with the leak welded and the tires mounted this weekend.

Just a bit of an update, took the tire with the damaged bead areas and the wheel to Best One Tire service center. They dismounted, cleaned and applied some bead sealer prior to remounting and inflating. Temporarily mounted hubs and tire/wheel assemblies to axles to get a couple pics. First is Dual hubs on axles the second one is all 4 temporarily mounted.
P.S. Right fender is slightly off level because I did not have the under fender support bolted on.
