Hello everyone. I came across this forum and saw all the Orange! How cool. I have a 59 D17 Gas with F11 loader....Ol reliable. Even the kids grew up driving it. So I figure I'll start out with a nagging issue of Power steering/Governor box fluid seeping up into the distributor and shorting points. In the past I just popped the distr out and drained it. It was good for about 10 hours. I really need to fix this ie my "round tuit." Last year swapped out the distributor for a rebuilt one and actually its a little worse. Is there an o-ring in the shaft I'm missing ? Or too much pressure in the pwr/gov housing or ??? Anyone have any ideas, It would really be appreciated! Thanks in advance.  God Bless, Joss ------------- "1959 D17 Gas Traction Master with F11 Loader still huffin and puffin almost 60 years later"
