Years ago I went to AN IH dealer to get some parts and just happened to ask how they fixed the loose steering on 140s , Super As and similar tractors. I had worked on my 140 a couple of times, the last by cutting a wider keyway and replacing the woodruff key with a much heavier key. It did not seem to help much. I asked if it would be okay to weld the half gear to the shaft. His answer was very surprizing. "That's the way we fix most of them" was his reply. Some time later I tore into mine but just tacked the gear to the shaft as I was a little leery of this. It held for about 2 months. In that time, my 140 probably had the tightest steering of any around, and there are many in my area used in tobacco and gardening. When I get real energetic and motivated, I plan to go into it again and really fix it this time. Good Luck1
