Don Anderson said: (quoted from post at 10:48:55 02/23/09) The steering on my 1486 is becoming a worry driving on the road. The front tires get to wobbling back and forth in unison. I am wondering if it has something to do with the seals in the steering cylinder since the pitmans and ball joints appear to be tight. It is hard to tell driving down the road. My main concern is that something will break driving down the road and I will end up someplace that I do not want to be. Even turning on rough ground in the field there appears to be a lot of slop but at least if something would break there I am going slow enough to avert disaster. Thanks for any suggestions.
I had that wobbling on my 2606 going over rough ground. Raised the front end up and found the 3 bolts in the bottom holding the trunion in were loose. Tightening helped some. Since I was having steering problems anyway and I could see the rod in the steering cylinder moving back and forth with the wheels, I rebuilt the steering cylinder. That stopped the wobbling. When I bought the steering cylinder kit, the parts guy talked me into buying new bushings for the trunion pins. When I got it apart, the original bushings fit tight on both the pin and in the housing. Left the old ones in there. If the rod in the steering cylinder wobbles back and forth also, then that is where I'd start. Hydraulic psi should hold it solid. If it doesn't move, I'd look somewhere else. If those trunion bolts are loose, you may want to use loctite. Let us know what you find out.
