How much movement of the steering wheel is "proper" before the steering box "kicks into action" on a 40's or 50's Farmall - specifically a SA or 100 and puts some movement on the tie rods?
Maybe my first 50's autos were just worn out; but seems that they had 1/4 to 1/8 steering wheel turn before wheels on ground actually turned. Seems that this was "normal". Remember getting a "tight" front end and took a while to adjust to the fact that any turn of the steering wheel resulted in some turn of the wheel/tires?
I suppose it's a challenge to take out "freeplay" if it's in the steering box on these old tractors?
