I have a lot of play in the front end of my 39 WC. Can anyone tell me what is involved in replacing the gears(worm and sector) and if they are still available? From what I can tell from the manual there is no adjustment. Thanks for any advice or help. Steve

Check the U joints in the steering shaft and the pins that hold them to the shafts. Check the end play in the worm gear too, it is adjustable with shims behind the cap where the shaft goes into the back of the pedestal.

Before replacing that, is that really the problem? Does it shimmy more on tar roads than gravel? Likely a worn tapered bearing at the bottom of the steering pedestal, rather than the worm gear on top.

There is a key and keyway in the pedestal and you might what to disassemble and inspect it. If I recall correctly, there is a large nut or bolt on the bottom of the front axel assembly that facilates removal of the shaft from the inside of the pedestal. On some WC's there is a cap screw and jam nut that keeps pressure on the key. If this is the case, you might just have to tightened it to remove some of the shimmy.

Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
