I have a 34 CC, a 48 and 49 VAC Case tractors. The 48 is as hard to steer as the CC, which isn't all that hard, but the 49 is near impossible. The 48 still has the arm coming out underneath the grill and above the steering post, while the 49 has rod linkage clear through to the front post.
Ive sprayed the steering post sections below and beside the engine doing no good. I havnt yet greased them. Theres a collar near the steering wheel that a gas lever is clamped on. The collar is not supposed to spin, but it does, being froze to the steering wheel shaft. I released the grip on the lever so the collar could turn with the shaft so that I could turn the shaft while spraying it to try to loosen it up, but that didn't do anything. Ive got the front end jacked up, and I can barely turn it. I wonder if the steering post the front wheels attach to had got bent from dropping in a ditch or something like that.
