A little SC tire replacement and chicken roost question

I don't get many opportunities to fix my SC as it is stored elsewhere but here is a short video explaining things- my chicken roost ends are worn out and taking out the play has "shortened" the link, thus it does not steer as tight to the right as the left- can anyone tell my why I can't cut and sleeve it? Not looking to spend a lot of dough.

Thank you all for the advice. Yes, it could be mis assembled- I do have a parts book that I can refer to for the breakdown. I figured a video would explain it better.
Funny you mention how straight that is-it was bent like a pretzel when I went in to a ditch, and I straightened it but assembled it exactly like it was when I took it apart. Who knows what was done to this thing over the last 64 years!
It sure runs good though, I can leave it for a couple months and it will start right up. I am sure if I get a working thermostat in it and actually work it hard, it will free up the rings and not smoke.
When I got it, the plug wires were all mis matched junk yard car plug wires, some AC plugs and some Champion, and they had a back blade rigged so they had two bolts sticking out the sides of the swinging draw bar bracket as pins, and a big hook blocking the PTo they had a come along on to raise and lower it. I got rid of that rig, and welded up the blade part to mount it on the front end loader for snow.

I agree with the rest here. The steering arm is missassembled or missing the spring or pucks. Get a parts breakdown and check it out carefully.

The first thing that you should realize is that the SC literature states different turning radii for left and right turns (this should not be very noticeable unless you measure the tracks in the dirt, though). Second, the internals of the top and bottom ends of the steering rod are assembled in different orders to keep water from collecting inside. If you reassemble one of them backwards (it looks like you have the top one put together backwards, with the spring on the wrong side of the ball link), then you can loose about an inch (when the steering is straight ahead, the springs should go "down" on both the top and bottom). The pucks which rub against the ball links are hardened, and even severely worn ones won't account for more than a 3/16" change in length of the steering rod. Actually, your steering rod looks good and straight. Straightness is a rare quality in SC steering rods. It is also not uncommon to have a sheared or partially sheared key in the top of the front steering spindle, though yours looks good in the video. Also, the thermostat is easy to change. It is set in the top of the water neck and held in place by the radiator hose and a hose clamp.

Don't cut the chicken roost. Simply remove the internal parts from each end, and install a spacer under the bottom cup. Don't be surprised if you find parts missing in there that are causing your problems.
