In Reply to: Steering - Freeplay posted by equeen on December 03, 2014 at 08:21:08:
Really, no perceivable freeplay is "proper" but unrealistic to expect from a 50+ year old tractor.
Reducing or minimzing it is a challenge judging by the descriptions I've read from some people who have tackled it. Sometimes replacing the bearings and tightening the fit of the sector gear to the pitman (?) shaft will eliminate a good portion of it, but there is also gear-to-gear wear to contend with. The only fix for that is to braize up and recut the gears, or replace with new. Neither way is economical or even possible for the average shadetree mechanic, so you end up living with some slop.
