The Cub steering gear does not have ball bearings on the vertical worm wheel shaft like the Super A. The Steering arm is keyed to the shaft, but the worm wheel is splined to the shaft. Unlike the Super A, where the steering shaft with the worm gear must come out the front, on the Cub you remove two bolts and the worm and shaft come out the back side of housing. There are no ball bearings at all in the Cub steering gear, only bushings. There is a full worm wheel gear, not a sector, so if you take it all apart, you can turn the gear 180 degrees and have new wear surfaces. All that said, the most likely cause of the play is that the nut that holds the steering arm needs to be tightened, or possibly the bushings are worn out. The nut is a castle nut with a cotter pin. Best to take the axle off to get to it. When you tighten this nut, you are setting the up and down play of the vertical shaft that has the steering arm on it. If it is not tight, then the gear can move up and down when you turn the steering wheel, resulting ins steering play. Tighten the nut so there is no end play and then back off to the first available hole in the castle nut. But while you have things apart, take the nut and the steering arm off to check the woodruff key and the brass washer bushing that is between the steering arm and the housing. If it is worn, get a new brass washer. It would be a good idea to get a parts catalog or look up one on line so you can see how the thing goes together. Hope this is not too confusing.
