Dexta Steering very loose

I'm looking at a Fordson Dexta. Seems to be in decent shape, but the steering wheel has about a quarter turn of play in it, very loose. The play is not in the front end anywhere, but somewhere between the steering wheel and the two arms below the steering wheel that connect to the rods that extend out to the wheels. What could be wrong and what might it take to fix it? any idea of the cost? Seems a bit unsafe to drive as is.

Any other tips on things to test out before buying? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Roy the steering box slack adjust by shims under the cover. That will cure the slack steering. Mostly elbow grease with no or little $$$ involved to fix it

Just a normal check for engine blowby and differential roars or noise.
