I would check out the crank arm (9) and the bushing (2) it has in the housing (1). The crank arm (9) can also be lose on the steering shaft (7). The pin (4) that attaches the steering cylinder arm to the steering shaft(7) can also be worn. Look at this from the bottom and have someone wiggle the steering wheel back and forth with the tractor running. YOu can see if you have worn bushings here or not. If things look good there then look at the front axle.
(second picture) The front axle support as a pivot arm (2) that the drag link hooks too and then the it powers the tie rods. This pivot arm (2) has a shaft that goes down through the axle support. There are two needle bearings (10) in the support that the pivot arm turns in. These needle bearings go bad and also wear the pin on the pivot arm. When this happens the tractor steering will be erratic. It also will allow the front wheels to flop around when going down the road a higher speeds. I have seen the needle bearings get bad enough that they fall out and then the shaft wears the axle support housing. If the bearing hole is worn oblong new bearing will not last long. I then remove the axle support and have a machine shop bush the support so that it is round again.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
