Where did you source the oil seal for the sector shaft? I'm sure mine needs to be replaced.

I ended up getting a cork seal from another restorer. He had 10 of them made. SKF has a suitable seal if you dont want to use the original cork and retainer.

All looks great, be glad to see it all completed. I have as much fun doing a resto. as driven when completed. I am working on a m4 hst tractor now days. When you got time got to youtube linden Tn. ww2 event, I go every year, it really a great event. Also droops out , chock in, ready in back, Were you at Fort Eustice
