Some of the linkage was not moving the way it should. The steering lever should snap back under spring tension. Removed everything and cleaned/polished it and reassembled.
Works like it should

New hardware for the RockGuards. Snapped a few of the 1/2” bolts so have to drill them out.

Vendor forgot to put the clutch discs in the box before he shipped it.

Steering clutch plates arrived.

Waiting on the Pressure Plate measurement gauge. Once that arrives I can start putting it back together.

Removed the assembly.
