Hoop: That 140 vertical tube and spindle were never as good quality as the older SA, 100 or 130. My 140 is the same, put a 400 to 700 pound implement on hitch and it steers like a dream. I tried greasing it until grease ran down the spindles, still no better.
I've owned 3 Super A's, 2 - 130's two of those with 10 times the hours my 140 has and the steer they same load or no load on hitch. I believe it's just timing when IH decided to nickel and dime things. My 130 is roughly 10,000 hours and 140 I'm doubtful if it's seen 1,000 hours. I'd hate to see my 140 after it's done the hard work that 130 has.
One of these days, I going to pull those spindles and see why. When I jack 140 front wheel, spindle can move 3/16" up and down in tube. My Super A and 130 don't do that. It has to be thrust of tube on spindle. I've never had my older ones with many more hours apart.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
