Most Farmall guys don't uderstand the physics of how the steering shaft and the steering shaft worm gear and the vertical shaft gear operate. When you turn the steering wheel the shaft won't begin to turn the flat gear until the steering shaft meets resistance. One way against the front shaft collar,the other against the rear shaft collar pulling against the collar stop on the horiz shaft. If you have play there in either direction you are going to have that 1/4 turn of the steering wheel before the pivot shaft and gear start to turn. This is much more critical than the minute wear on the gear.First make sure there is no gap between shaft and end plug, and no horiz shaft play forward from driver;s seat. Check end gap by inserting piece of cardboard in the cap and tightening it down TIGHT and then remove and see how much the cardboard is compressed. That is the forward end play.Loosen the two collars at the pedestal and snug them up against the pedestal insurint that all the allen head keys are in and TIGHT! and there is almost zero end gap.
