My family owns an 1850 cockshutt, and when travelling at road speed (6th gear), the front end has alot of play i.e. you can turn the steering wheel back and forth quite a bit and you end up over compensating all the time. We have determined that the play seems to be between of the power steering unit snd where it goes into the tie rods. How difficult is it to get apart, and what may the problem be (worn spline etc.) Thanks in advance.

It is not likely a worn spline. Have a buddy turn the steering wheel back and forth while you watch the power steering unit below the radiator. You may see it 'wobble' back and forth before you see any movement of the tie rods, assuming the tie rods themselves are not the problem. If this is the case, what I have done to take care of the problem is this: you will see a bolster that essentially anchors this unit to the bathtub with a fine thread nut on top, loosen. Remove the access cover on top of the power steering unit and loosen capscrew exposed when you remove the plug you will see after access cover is removed. Lift unit enough to add shims/washers to anchor (large surface area washers work best) and reinstall. When you retighten the anchor, the unit should no longer wobble back and forth and you can test this by hand.
