i replaced the bearing on the worm gear and it definitely helped but did not completely solve the issue. I wiped out all the grease from the steering box - do I fill this back up with JD corn head grease or some other gear oil? I noticed there's a grease fitting on the bolster but it must be plugged as I wasn't able to pump any grease into it. Is that grease zerk going to a tapered bearing inside the bolster? I've been soaking that area (around felt washer) with PB Blaster to see if it helps. It steers easier to the left and hits a hard spot going right.
I have a couple other off-topic questions:
1) I have a IH #16 3 bottom trip plow and was wondering what to use in the trip mechanism gear box? I've tried 85W-140 and it seeps out. Also, two boards are missing the small curved plate that bolts directly above. Where can I buy these parts?
2) I noticed the water pump on the M leaks from the front where the packing nut goes in. Should I try tightening the packing nut or buy a new pump? What are the two grease zerks for on the side of the water pump? I put a few pumps of grease in each to see if that would stop it from leaking but no luck. What is the best source for buying a new water pump and radiator for the M?

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
