I do not understand your question. If you have the late model adjustable steering, then you would use an ordinary box wrench and a screwdriver. If you have the older steering, then you would adjust it by turning the eccentric sector shaft housing and bushing assembly..

what and where is the "eccentric sector shaft housing and bushing assembly" and how do you make the adjustment. I have a 48 N.

Make sure you adjust the left, as you sit on the tractor first. it is driven by the ball nut. Turn the sector shaft housing counterclockwise and check for slop as you align the bolt holes. As soon as no back lash is noticed, put in the bolts. Then adjust the right turning it clockwise. Refill the box with 90 wt gear lube and check the front wheel toe in marks. you can adjust each side.

I take it, that you do not have an IT FO-4 Manual. Every owner should have one.. It only costs about Twenty bucks...Anyhow, the sector shaft housings and bushings are the round thingys where the sector shafts come out of the steering box. They are held on with about 8 bolts..These housings have an eccentric that when turned will bring the sector gear closer to the ballnut assembly (If it is not already there) First you would do the one in the front and then the one in the back... This is of course that there is no vertical play in the steering shaft and the bushings are ok and not excessive play in the gear mesh..
