A Quick Thread Repair

A local guy with an old tractor had acquired a new (used) steering pin, which had a bit of thread damage - too much to manage cleaning with a die - could get a die started by hand. Also the only thread cleaning file we had didn't have a 14 TPI option so, we put the pin in the lathe. With a bit of patience we got it cleaned up enough to get the nut on. It was noticeable that the nut had not been threaded very square! Also transferred the old Zerk fitting after tapping the equivalent hole.
