I consider the poor steering the #1 problem with 300/350/330Us.For a tractor that was designed to be loader-friendly,bad steering is the last thing you need.I blame IH and its knee jerk reaction to get something to market to compete with the Ford N series as to why these tractors now have a lasting legacy of dangerous steering control.It was a case of lack of engineering/long term development that lead to an overstressed/weak designed box.All the added mounting reinforcements was a band-aid attempt to restrain the box in the chassis under the high steering loads.
Sure these tractors are now 50 years old,but I'm sure they developed wear/free play in their first year of use.CASE/IH has bought into this legacy and I still say they should offer something to the faithful owners to put the situation right.(an improved box at a reasonable price?).Its never going to happen,but it would sure impress me if a large company would admit to its forebears failures,and actually help current owners out.Imagine if all these boxes broke,and with no replacements or new component parts available,all 300/350/330Us were deemed non functional....a whole class of tractors would be museum pieces/scrap metal.
