It just didnt seem right that it should bind like that. And I have read other posts about the steering being weak on these. I have no clue how it acted before, cause I bought this tractor to restore. So I didnt use it before hand, just made sure it ran and that was it.
I started off re-assembling with the front axle turned upside down. Cause on my axle, installed correctly, it is upswept a few degrees. I have oversized tires on the back, and upside down (downswept) gives about 3.5" more lift in the front. And was going to modify the axle stop to keep the same range of motion.
I thought this was causing the binding before, so flipped the axle back around and same deal. IF this is just the way it is, I may put the axle back on upside down again.
With the axle up-swept, it seems to experience the bump steer a little worse than downswept anyway. Cause with the axle on right, and the steering straight ahead, the tierods/draglinks are actually slightly uphill. being downswept, lowering the spindle a bit, and the draglinks are level and dont bump seer as bad. And it only throws the camber off just a tad.
Any reasons not to do this to get a little more lift up front...
