Derek, sometime when the weather is nice and you have a day why not drive up to Exeter? I am within 4 wreckers all within a half hour of me. Ontario Used Tractor Parts is the best and if he has a power steering system for a B275 I guarantee he will be the cheapest and give you the best service in Ontario. I could find the time to take you to these places as I need a few things before the summer In the response from Jdemaris, he feels that B275 with loaders were hard steering anyway. I am not saying his experience with them isn't valid but I have a loader on my B250 and I clean out my barns and load all my manure with it and I can honestly say I have never given the steering a though, seems to steer real well as a tractor without Power steering.
Do you need wheel weights?..Teeswater tractor parts have both front and rear weights for your B275, I picked up fronts for $20 each. Stay in touch and maybe we can hook up and do the wreckers tour, we'll get Hugh MacKay and Farmallkid to join us and make it a day!...Mike in Exeter Ontario

Mike,

That sounds fantastic! I am usually quite flexible schedule-wise, so maybe drop me a note when you think it may best suit you..?

Mapquest says its about a 3 hr journey--not too bad...

On the issue of hard steering, from the posts so far one item has been overlooked. The issue of the greasing of the bolsters is critical. If, as stated, the fittings seem to be screwed into blind holes, they in effect are. extreamly old oxidized grease will collect bushing particles and harden into a plug that is impossible to grease through. Pull the fittings and use a small drill bit (in your fingers or pliers, not a drill motor) and pick out all the black solid crud in the hole. Even if you did force grease in the bearing the crud would be forced into the bearing, not good. Open your grease gun and pull the plunger back to the notch like you were changing the cartridge. pour about 30ml an ounce of engine oil down cartridge, and replace the pump w/o spilling the juice. Next raise the front end (needed in prep for axel repair anyway) and pump in the oil. This washes some of the dirt out (oil has solvents, detergents etc,) and continue till clean grease comes out of the shaft. Turning the steering can also help limber things up. I like Ford automotive specification graphite based chassis grease, it is slippery stuff, and hangs in journals better in my opinion. LOL JimN

You may be right, I'll look into it a little closer.

I just went out to have a peek at it to satisfy my curiousity (should have worn hip-waders ;)j/k) and confirmed that the tires sizes are both 6.00 x 16's, one being a Goodyear and one is a Galaxy. Didn't have a pressure guage handy.

Also noticed that the axle pivot pin has some slop as well (probably normal compared to the rest) so while the axle can already 'rotate' front to rear it can also 'pivot' front to rear on the main mount too.

I think all these things added together make for my problem. If the weather clears next week maybe I can tear into this stuff. The loader needs a total revamp as well, so maybe I'll take it off for that part.
