I have a Super A (serial # 260001) that has steering problems. It has about 1/2 round slack in steering wheel and right front wheel wobbles terribly in anything but 1st gear speeds. I realize I need to pull front axle to get to the steering gearbox and plan on attacking this project this weekend. What all do I need to look for to fix my wandering and slack? Let me tell you the wear points I see without having torn the Super A down yet: 1. 1/2 round slack in wheel 2. Right front wheel has play - there is play where the top plate that holds the tie rod attaches to the wheels shaft (is this called the king pin or something like that?) In other words the wheel and this shaft have considerable play and wobble relative to the plate that attaches to it at the top. I assume it is keyed or somethink and the keyway is worn? 3. My axle can slide front-to-back about 1" on the front axle pivot shaft. This seems like it should be tighter that this. My plan of attack is to jack the tractor up and get axle out from under it. Then, I have been told my steering wheel slack is from steering sector gear wobbling on it's shaft? I guess I need to pull this shaft and fix it but have no idea what will. Then tend to my wear at front axle pivot and right front wheel. I have the "old style" ball and socket tie rod ends and have adjusted them up tight and they don't seem to be a huge problem anymore. Can I get parts anywhere?Either good used ones or new? I am assuming I will need a steering sector shaft with gear, and front axle pivot as well as bearings and seals in gearbox. Please advise me as I am a good mechanic but no nothing about this particular project on the Super A. I do have a good machine shop close.

In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders. Under loaded conditions the tractor seems to lack power and it belches black smoke out of the exhaust. For some reason it just doesn't want to start up without cranking and cranking the starter. All these conditions can be signals that your unit is in need of a tune up. Ok, so what is involved in a tune up? You say, swap plugs and file the points....now tha
