I am new here and really don't know much about tractors but I inherited an M last week and it had really loose steering (narrow front) So I took that cover off the top of the steering gear assembly and noticed that there was a lot of slop in the gear so I thought that I could pull the round gear and just grind it off on the bottom so that it would fit further down on the shaft BUT it wasn't built that way SO I took the front wheels off and took that large vertical shaft out the bottom.

Like I said I know little about tractors and would appreciate input on this technique.
