Well, looks like I stired the pot on this one. Thanks for all the input. This is for a 300 Farmall. It always steered good and drove straight but had a slight slop in the steering, not bad, but I would have liked better. Last summer I had the radiator reparied, and as always, I checked the steering items when I had it appart. The bushings seemed good. When I reassembled, I tured the steering gear to its best position like I do when I have any of them apart. I also replaced worn bolts in the power steering couplers. When I got it back together, it did seem tighter. I have a mower on this tractor and travel up to 5 miles on roads to mow road ditches. After the maintenance, I could drive a distance, and suddenly the front wheels would start wobbleing, sometimes pretty bad. After a while they would sometimes stop wobbleing, other times they would continue to wobble until I stopped the tractor. There was no consistancey in this at all. It became very frustraiting. I will note that I have the front hub weights on this tractor, but they have been on for a few years now. I thought since I had that wedge lying around, that I would try installing it to see if it helped. Steering effort is of no consiqunce since I have power steering. Like I said, this makes no sence because I thought I should have improved the situation that was already pretty good. I'm temped to remove the front weights, but I like the extra weight and stability in the ditches.
