Keith, I don't think I can make it more clear, but I can sure make it less clear for ya! First of all, most of the slop that I have seen in the Farmall A steering has been from a bad top bearing, or the pitman arm being loose on the shaft. Even with different gears, you will probably have some play though. You have a 1944 A, well what is the donor tractor? And, how do you know the donor has not been repaired over the years with parts from an A, Super A, or a 100, or a 130 or 140? To the best of my knowledge, there are three different steering "worm wheel shafts", which some people might call a quadrant shaft. There are also three different worm wheel or quadrant gears. The shafts, as you know, can be square or tapered, and the key ways could be 1/4" or 3/16". The square bottom shaft is not drilled for a cotter pin at the bottom and has no bottom keyway. The gears, could be 1/4" keyway or 3/16" keyway, and there was a Farmall 140 "fast steering" worm wheel gear with a different number of teeth. Now, the two bearing, two bushings, two seals, and gasket fit all models from A through 140. So, best advise I can give you is to take the donor apart, and compare to the pieces you have. Measure the keyways, count the teeth on the gears. The gears can be pressed off of the shaft. For your instance, the keyway size should not matter unless you need to press the gear off one shaft and replace it, but the number of gears on the worm wheel are your concern. Best Regards.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
