Alan - A couple possibilities: 1 - Slack in other steering parts (worn worm, worn worm shaft bearing/bushing, sloppy U-joints). Check these parts on your H - often the combination of a bit of slack from each component results in enough total slack to mess up the steering. 2 - Improper caster to the lower bolster.

This reduces steering wheel effort, but can make the front end more prone to shimmy. Check to see if your tractor has a wedge - if it does, remove and see if steering improves. Punch below for a shot of the shim that came on my NF Super H - note the word "FRONT" cast on the thinner side.
