Hey guys I need a little help with this one. My SMTA always binds when turned to the right. Left is no problem at all. So I took the grill and cover plate off this afternoon to try and figure out what was going on. Both gears appeared to be in fine condition and the bearing on the end of the worm gear was ok too. I removed the worm gear and shaft and turned the front wheels by hand easily both left and right to the stops with no trouble at all. I then reinstalled the sector gear a half a turn from where it was (trying to fix the typical wobble) and put the entire assembly back together. Turned to the right and got the same results! Binding hard in the same spot. Turned left and no problem just as before. So what I'm getting at is this- could it be possible that the steering shaft in the upper bolster that the sector gear mounts to be tweaked just enough to cause a bind? If so how could that even happen? I placed a tape measure over the shaft using a line for reference and it appears that when I turn the front wheels that shaft isnt quite true? The way it's moving now the sector gear gets closer to the worm gear when turned right causing a bind and farther away when turned left causing no issue? Does anyone have any experience with something like this? Thanks for the help DK

I've heard the arguments for non-detergent oils but would never trade it for today's formulations. Paint is another, the modern acrylic enamels are great for resistance to grease and fuel stains, retaining their shine and they last forever; unlike enamels and lacquers . Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
