140 steering adjustment

Posted by hogsbackfarm on February 16, 2005 at 04:21:43 from (216.243.165.47):

Hello, I'm looking at purchasing a 140 for cultivating and the one I'm looking at is in relatively good condition. The only drawback is that the steering is a little sloppy, so that when driving it it takes maybe half to three quarters of a turn to re-engage the steering when changing direction, if that makes sense. I don't have an IH manual but I do have an IT manual that addresses changing the steering worm bushing and seal, but no talk of adjustments. The only other alternatives they show involve removing the entire assembly and axles, which I'm not jumping up and down to do. Anyone know if just changing that bushing would tighten it up, or if a more serious overhaul is needed and any advice if you've done it? Thanks.
