I would check two things... the worm gear set-up in the bolster and the keyway in the steering arm. If the keyway is wallowed out, there might still be enough friction in the tapered shaft/steering arm for it to steer when steering is easy. There is a Woodruff key in the shaft/arm and easy way to check it is have someone turn the wheel and if the nut on the bottom of the shaft turns before the arm moves.... well, it shouldn't do that. If the steering shaft going into the bolster turns, but the nut on the bottom doesn't turn, it shouldn't do that either.
This is assuming it is an International and not a Farmall. Seems to be a weak point on these tractors.
