I asked advice on how to adjust my H steering a few weeks ago, and thanks guys, for lots of good advice. I have the H stripped, in the shed, parts being sand-blasted etc., but I wanted ot let you know what has worked so far. I rotated the steering gear 180 degrees. Then I made a spacer to sit between the worm gear bearing inner race and the worm gear. I tried various thicknesses, but 0.185" thickness seems like it removes almost all the slop from the steering. Spacer ID matches the bearing inner race ID, and spacer OD is small so it fits past the lip. I had 8" back and forth, now I have about 2" back and forth. (Note, I had to grind away part of the back part of the worm gear to make it fit.)(I know, I know, that scares me too.) I will replace bolster bushings, etc., as soon as I can. This tightens things up becuse it shifts the worm gear back, and thicker parts of the worm gear threads now contact the steering gear. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS, SO I DON"T KNOW IF IT REALLY WORKS OR NOT, OR IS SAFE, BUT IN THE SHED, IT SEEMS TO REMOVE THE SLOP.
Now a scary tale; At the CaseIH dealers two weeks ago, my friend John told me that many years ago one of his H's, in the field, snapped off the bolster and the H did a face-plant, the tricycle wheels folded under and ate the oil pan, etc. He was not hurt. He seemed like he thought it was sort of humorous... good grief.
