yeah, the shaft could be bent. Take the hood off. Now unhook the universal joint by the front of the fuel tank. You might have to slide the collars on the steering post. see if that much turns free without binding. Then with that unhooked try turning the front half of the shaft with a vicegrip. If it still turns hard, the front half is removed by taking out the plug on the front of the bolster, (you will have to remove the grill) turn the shaft and it will tread out on the worm gear, check the bearing and or gear for excessive wear. With the shaft removed and tractor still sitting on ground try turning the wheels with a bar. If they still turn hard, jack up the tractor and see if that helps. Just keep checking one piece at a time and you will find the problem. Nobody said it was easy.
