Case 530CK steering spindle/knuckle problem

Ok.... So I inherited a 1966 Case 530 CK...
I have been running it a bit after it has sat for a while.. There are a couple issues it has that I am gonna look into.. But right now it has one major issue that I am worried about..

The spindle to steering knuckle (I am an auto mechanic by trade so those are just what I am going to call them until told differently) is jointed together by splines... Well they are loose.. The spindle moves a good 5 or more degrees without the steering knuckle moving.. I pulled it apart and I can't tell for sure which one or if both are worn..

Anyone know which is the weak one of these.. Or if I should just plan on looking for both of them or is there a fix?? I found a picture here and were talking part numbers 4 and 42... but 42 uses a pinch bolt and my case doesn't.. mine uses a 1 11/16 castle nut....

Later530CK and 580CK/580B all use the same parts in this area,, cnh I think has obsoleted the steering arms as I had a guy needing one last winter,, I ordered it through A&I products,, should be a dealer near you, they do not have a clamping arm, most times I get by replacing the arm as the spindle is harder and wears less,,, I would try that first, also, you can pull the arm off and remove a shim or two that will allow it to go onto the spindle farther and many times this will last many years,, Make sure you Save the shims as you will need them if you replace the arm/spindle,,, Please check with This site and see if they have the arm as well,
