Well, I had the steering box apart. The gear on the steering shaft is like new. No signs of wear. Sharp edges. I did not take the gear out of the steering box, but it also looks new. Feels sharp. No signs of wear. No movement. Bearings all seem good. The tie rod ends are good. I tightened them all up as far as they would go and still work. Greased everything. The only suspect is the steering arm, but it's only worn at the edges and I was able to tighten it up OK. I had play from 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock. Honestly! Now I have play from about 5 o'clock to 9 o'clock.
So, any ideas? I think it is inside the box. Of course, it's all back together and I'd rather not do that again. Is there any sort of spacer that can be put in to reduce the vertical play on the steering shaft? Seems like maybe that moves. Any other ideas?
I may be able to start this baby up in about a week.
