Did you check the steering arm where it fastens
to the vertical shaft through the steering gear
box. The end of the shaft is probrobly square
with a square hole in the steering arm. I'll
bet it is very sloppy. Poor design, changed to
a tapered end shaft with key which could be
tightened . That said, I put shims on my square
shaft and it was tighter. That was on the A.
On the super A, I found an old knowledgeable
parts man who knew that IH at one time offered
a repair kit which changed the square end shaft
to a tapered one. The kit is no longer available,
but the individual parts are . Hugh can
probrobly tell you which tractor started using
the tapered end shaft 100, 140 or whatever.
The shaft and new arm takes care of outside the
gearbox slop, but the inside sector gear will
still need work. I had a new keyway cut in the
shaft and 180 degrees from the old keyway. But
I'll bet Hugh's method works as well and is
cheaper.
