Do you mean the gasket where it bolts to the box or another seal, on the shaft. A bearing seal? I got it to move about a inch bit it got in a bind. Going to try to go back and get it out in a few min. Thank you for any and all help.

The steering shaft come out no problem. The shaft going to the steering wheel.
What I mean, is underneath the gearbox is the main round pedestal that rotates. Is has maybe 8 bolt that bolt it to the main casting. When you pull the bottom out, there is a large seal, like a wheel seal only bigger. There a big gear on that shaft that you have to press off to change the seal. Your owner's manual has an exploded diagram of this. If you don't have an owners manual get one from this site or ebay. you shouldn't be without one.

I got it off and I can see the large seal you are referring too. I recon I otta replace that, and get a manual. I am getting it ready for paint. after all the seals are replaced. The tie rod ends seem tight, but they do not have a boot on them or grease fittings. Probably after market. It always cost more than I plan for. Thanks for any and all the help from everyone. I will have more questions putting it back together. Like should I put the steering shaft on steering box first. or the steering knuckle on the tractor. Then slide the box up to it? Tried to send a picture but very slow computer.

My original tie rods didn't have grease fittings either. I thought that was weird. You can drill and tap them for a grease fitting if you want. Check to make sure that you can get the tie rods loosened up good to slide in and out. Mine were froze up bad, so I finally threw them away and bought new ones. You can buy new boots for them for Steiners or others.
While everything's apart, you should also drill and tap the front and rear pivots for grease fittings so you can grease them. I don't know why Allis didn't do that from the factory.

The previous owner rebuilt the front and rear pivot points also put in grease fittings in them. Also one in each steering king pin shaft, for the lack of correct term. All the bushing's look good. New wheel bearings and race. He was going to put it on his WD45 like it is. Because everything else look good. I was impressed with his work! He got something else and parted it out. I think I am going to run it. If I need to replace any more seals, such as the steering box main seal. I plan on doing a complete restore in the future. I don't have the funds to do what I want and need tractor this spring. I saw so many different manuals on Ebay, at a good price. Don't know witch one to get.

Sorry, I remember know you saying it had been rebuilt.
I was going to say to buy one from the site's AAllis store at the top of the page but for some reason only Diesel manuals are listed. Just make sure you get a WD45 owners manual and you'll be in good shape. A service manual is always nice to have to. Just make sure you get an Allis service manual and not an IT one.

I ordered a manual and need a pivot bolt. I lost it or never had it. I think it is counter sunk.I can't wait to get the manual. And stop guessing the name of the part.

Hi Rltool, I just swapped out my narrow Wd front to a wide 4 bolt. Both pivot plates are wore. Are you still selling the plates because I would be intetested if so.
Thanks Jeremy
