Get better Richie! 2 hours ago, pullstart said: Can this fan gear steering setup from a GT-14 replace a Ross steering gear on a 953 as a bolt in swap? Is it any stronger? Wouldn't be worth the effort. Rebuilding the Ross unit isn't a bad job. @Lane Ranger documented the process well for us. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 66,672 #53 Posted July 22, 2020 Uncle Jim mentioned his October plow day. Along with Rylee chompin’ at the bit to get her Suburban running, my need to swap a Duramax engine and other various projects, I need to get this 953 ready to run a plow all day! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can tell by the head gasket marks that remain after some initial flat plate wet sanding... Yep, it’s warped! Another good thread that I missed somehow!! I see you have an LP head, nice! I would rebuild the ross box if I were you, they are a good box and I think yours may be the 3 turn, which is good! Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some early K241's had a head that come from kohler generators that run on LP so that had a smaller combustion chamber for more compression. The later ones has a dished out portion that goes out over the piston. The newer head will flow better, but compression is king in stock pulling. Pullers are paying over a hundred bucks for those to use in stock pullers. That head on a K301 really wakes them up. I used to run one on one of my pullers and a later head milled .050 on the other. The LP head has more compression and you can even tell by the sound. Here is a link to another site with good info on the heads. Sorry its a cub site. http://cubfaq.com/lphead.html Randy Edited July 23, 2020 by RandyLittrell 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sailman 1,299 #61 Posted July 28, 2020 Ok. I usually don't get that much attention about the GT 14 but ....inquiring minds want to know...so happy to comply.... I'm sure you will appreciate this "true rebel" down here in Georgia! The guys on this forum warned me... I now have the GT 14 and 2 - C120's....addiction has struck! Good luck with rebel. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 66,672 #66 Posted October 14, 2020 Yesterday I grabbed belts, engine oil, 80/90, and various fuel system needs, along with new pins for the hydraulic cylinder. Today, I ordered an assortment of fasteners from www.TheBoltDepot.com including new “shear pins” for Frank’s rear hubs, 9/16-20x4” bolts for Rebel’s inside wheel weights and some other goodies too. I’m on a breakfast date with my cute niece having “toppings and toast” before any work or tractor rides though! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 66,672 #67 Posted October 15, 2020 Rebel’s got no axle seals and didn’t have an input pulley either. I grabbed the pulley off of the 1054 roller for the time being so I can say I put the belt on. I need to put a brake rod together and assemble the brakes so I can connect the clutch spring and see if it’ll move after a top off of fresh gear lube! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 66,672 #72 Posted October 16, 2020 More lead than I can carry in one trip across the shop should help weigh Rylee down in the furrow! Sorry @Coulter Caleb @Shynon @prondzy, I think this might work better than oatmeal and bricks! I’ll bolt two pieces on to the sides of the grill, then place a few blocks in the tool box too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
