Hi Bob. If you do walk Bob through the engine steady repair, would you
please copy me, too? I know mine need to be replaced (have tem in hand,
too), but can't figure how to get my hands in there to do it (54 TF 1250).
It looks like I'd have to remove the whole front end to get in there.

Hi Mike,
Things that could fail and cause the rubbing include the front engine
steady (turnbuckle), the gearbox hold-down device, and rear spring
issues.
Let's go through them in order of ease of checking:
Engine steady---parked, with engine off, engine should be centered (
crank will slip in and out easily ). Push and pull the rocker cover and
engine should move 1/8-1/4 inch or so. If it's more, then chances are
that the rubber grommets have perished or that the turnbuckle itself has
loosened. Let me know if that's the fault and I can help talk you
through R&R.
