I finally got my transmission flushed and filled, and my carb rebuilt on the 1951 H I just acquired. I did a little raking with it and found a big issue with my steering. The tractor is very very hard to steer. I thought bearing at first, but I think it may be another issue. With the tires facing straight ahead, you can turn all the way to the left and back with no issues at all, the wheel is very easy to move. To the right is where the issue is, turning to the right more than about 20 degrees is tough, and just as tough to steer back. Were it a thrust bearing in the gear box, wouldn't it be hard to move in only one direction, and always hard to move in that direction? I've looked for physical obstructions under the front of the tractor and found nothing. There are four bolts that hold the wheel assembly to the bottom of the shaft, and the heads of these seem to be in contact with some sort of track on the bottom of the tractor, but there is nothing to indicate that they aren't supposed to ride there. The track does not make a full cycle though, it has a gap in it. It also does not look broken, as there is paint on the edges. Anyone have any idea what the issue could be?

If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
