1755 steering problem

I just bought a 1755. Runs great, 5800hrs,tin work excellent. Only issue is the front tires wobble when you drive it. I checked the tie rods and one does need to be replaced. But when I had the front end jacked up there was a lot of play. You could turn the tires to the left or right easily. Any ideas on what it could be or what to check. Also I'd like to find an original dealers service manual for it. Thanks
 
One thing I'd check is the nut that holds the steering arms to the spindles. My 2-105 picked up a heck of a wobble on the left side. When I'd sit and turn the steering wheel,everything looked to be tight as a drum,but I finally noticed that there was just an ever so slight hesitation before the left tire would move. I tightened the nut just about a third of a turn and that fixed it.
Most any little source of play will really send them out of whack.
 
I will check those nuts to make sure they are tight. The wobble is on both sides which makes me wonder if it is something in the steering hydraulics.
 
A few things:
1. Are the tie rod ends tight in the center steering arm, the one below the cylinder? I have washers on one of mine to make them tight because the nut bottoms out before they fit snugly.
2. Is the center arm tight to the shaft out of the steering cylinder? I replaced the one on my 1755 because it was worn on the splines to the steering cylinder shaft.
3. Is the support arm from the steering cylinder to the frame tight? Nuts on the studs on mine have worked loose before and I broke one of the studs too.

Those are all things I have had happen and does affect the tightness of the steering.
