Cockshutt 30 steering

I am getting my Cockshutt 30 ready for spring and I thought that now would be a good time to work on the steering. When I am moving along in the faster gears the front wheels will start to shimmy when one of the wheels goes over a higher spot than the other. My manual shows that the steering worm controls the steering with some tapered pins. Has anyone out there had any experience with this problem? Are the pins available or do I have to make them if they are the problem? It would seem that they would get the most wear and this tractor has been used a lot.

Jerry,
I have new steering gear worm stud pins, seals, and the hub felt seals on stock if you need them.

I done the pin swap that unimog speaks of(probably on his advice)and it helped a lot.I had a extra box and used the two outer pins from each box as they don't get much wear as stated above.there is also a wear block with a stack of shims that if you remove shims will adjust the clearance
between the worm and pins.This is worth doing but is a bit tough because you must remove the box from the tractor to do.Most of the play in the steering weel on these old girls is usually due to the u joints.the shimmy you speak of would have me checking weel alignment and the woodroffe key on the king pins.
LOL

There are many things that can cause your wheels
to shimmy. Wheel bearings, kingpins, steering
u-joints, tie rods, axle pivot pin and wear in the steering box.
The pins your speaking of can be made but I
don't know of anyone selling new ones. I'd check
the 2 u-joints first. If that's not the problem
and you open the steering, there are 4 pins that
work the worm gear. These can be switched around
by driving them out with a drift or press and
putting the pins with the most wear on the outer
edges. The outer pins wear less. Also just giving
them a twist so the wear is in a new position
will help tighten the steering worm.
