I had a problem with my steering when
turning to the left. It occasionally would
hit a snag which required me to turn the
wheel to right and go back then to the
left.
So while I have my gas tank and saddle
bracket off of the tractor for rehab I
pulled the column and worm gear unit out
to inspect. Nothing real obvious wrong.
But..... I did notice that if the worm
gear was allowed to move inward it would
bind. So I believe I found my problem and
will attach the drag link arm tighter to
the gear cover when reassembling. There
was a 1/4 inch of horizontal movement
there prior to removal.
