Well, I've rebuilt the front spindles and rebuilt the steering box and still have stiff steering.. I really thought the steering box rebuild would take car of it since the bearings were destroyed inside.....but nope...
Not much left.. Any suggestions on where to start?
Thanks in advance!
 
No loader.. I don't have the tractor here, but this is a pic..

Those tires don't steer easy sitting still. Also, note the offset from tire to top of spindle. Tire should be as close to spindle as
possible. Try putting tires on the other way.
 
(quoted from post at 16:11:14 10/21/16) What do you have for tires on the front? Do you have a loader on it?

Both.. Almost impossible to move sitting still. Tough, using both hands, moving..
 

I'll try that.. That's the way the wheels were when I got it.. It was a free tractor that didn't run.. Working my way through it.
Thanks..
 
I have two 8ns and neither one will turn settting still. moving they do good, the one with three rib tires better than the one with trailer ag tires. They were never designed to steer easy when not moving, but should do pretty good when moving.
