My JD1040 has half a turn slack on the steering weel. Its not a good thing when driving on the road. Some tips on how too fix this wold be great.
 

Welcome to this forum.

1st thing to check is be sure the bolt(item 13) is very tight. I forget the #s of torque but it's very high.

Next check for failed brgs(item 4) on bellcrank shaft.

Thanks for quick reply. I live up north i Norway and there are no expertice around here, then this forum is gold.
It feels like my steering wheel have no contact with the steering box/gear the half round. When the half turn is done the steering works fine
I have started to unwrap the steering gear and ordered manuals for the 1040 1982 mod
