i have had the same on 3 super A's (same as a 140) and every one i had to drop the front axle, remove the bottom half of the steering box, and on 2 of them i had to put a new roller bearing and c clip in the top and a bushing and seal in the bottom, the other one the c clip had just broke and the fan gear shaft was able to travel up and down instead of left to right. i also know that if left unfixed long enough it will wear the fan gear shaft from round to oval. that shaft was about 80.00 at my ih dealer. i havnt been able to make any of the 3 hold gear oil since, so i just removed the small plug and put in a grease fitting. the new seals will hold that. its not a fun job, but i made 2 stilts that bold on the sides of the torque tube, they are just long enough to hold the front end high enough to remove. believe me, i felt a lot safer working under the front with no axle on it with these 2 pieces of steel holding it up instead of blocks and a jack.

so to sum it up, ill bet bad bearing or c clip, i would not let it go to long like that or it will cost more to fix. if its bad also replace the bottom bushing while your there, its only a few dollars. and be careful while the axle is off, its dangerous.

thanks
