If you have much verticle play, it is possibly as suggested.. dead bearing. And tearing down the steering box isn't much fun anyway.. and even less if it is way out in the field. Got another tractor with a lift, or a trailer . You can jack the front of the N up.. roll the trailer under it, comealong it or chain it in place, pop it in neutral, then tow it back to your barn to fix it in the shade. Or you could pop the draglinks off and tow it backwards.. carefully ..but I would opt for the trailer /dolly method myself.. Gotta take the hood / gas tank off, bumper, battery box, and throttle / choke linkages.. attatched wiring and gauges / oil line... Have fun. It is a bit time consuming.. but can be done... I did mine. The diagrams in the fo-4 manual helped. What year is yours.. mine is a 5s, and has the late model steering box. The early one is similar in design, but adjusts differently. Let us know if you need more info. You might wiggle things a bit once you get that front end jacked up. good luck Soundguy
