Its been a long while since i got any progress done on my 100 but i finally got myself a welder and filled in the holes on my seat bracket. i just have to finish grinding them down and give it a skim coat of putty, then primer and paint.
Before:

After:

had a lot of spatter cus i turned the heat down when i should have turned up (or so i was told)
but i dont think it was too bad for my fifth time welding, i got the cut in my frame done too but dont have pics, will post tomarrow.

Ya only worry about baldness if you have to categorize yourself in one of these circumstances.

1, If your bald in the back, It means your sexy

2, If your bald in the front, That says your a thinker.

3, If you bald in the front and back, That just means you think your sexy

At least I found a use for that Dremel I have had for years and never used! If all else fails I will have to cut the wheel itself and call it a loss. I'm not sure it ever got seated on the splines right either so I might have to take the loss and hack the whole thing off the top, splines and all. I would hate to do it, but I will try Brendans idea first.

If that was mine, I would drill out the hole that is already there to clean it up, then go to a size large enough to 'cut' to the 'root' of the threaded section.
(Someone else will know what size to use)
If you do that, the ugly mushroomed part should fall right off.
Your steering wheel will still be on, but undamaged.
The steering shaft won't be so lucky.

Hi I thing what Iv got hear is the Base ground. It looks like it leafs the starter but its hard to see where it go's from there. On the diagram.

Robert,is that shaft part replaceable? Or will I need to replace the entire steering column?

I can't believe this...I move to Florida just to get the long distance award (1474mi)...and yet another guy from Canada beats me before I even have a chance! ( remember the first JD Spring Tillage day with "field marshalls" carrying depth rods )

At least Don isn't going to put a sweepster on a JD while beating me...

Yes the shaft is, but it might be cheaper to buy a used column.
The parts lookup shows it, but I don't know how to post a link.

If the shaft is anything like mine was, getting the drill to be direct center without a drill press would end up buggering the splines up. It may have been more work but I couldn't have replaced the steering wheel in the same condition for my Original.
