That vertical shaft that the steering arm goes on could be one of two types. A's and early super As had a shaft with a key at the bottom where the steering arm clamped on. Later versions of the Super A had a tapered end on the shaft with a large nut to force the steering arm up tight on the shaft. A long time ago IH sold a kit with the parts needed to upgrade from the straight shaft to the tapered shaft. NLA, but all the parts are available to convert it.

On the one I had I changed the shaft and the steering arm to the tapered style "not cheap" There are two types of steering arms depending on what style tie rods you have. If you already have the tapered shaft then check the sector gear key and replace all the bearings and seals. If you can pull the steering wheel back and forth toward you when sitting on the seat you will have to eliminate that play also.

I got the tractor so stuck that the underside of the tractor was resting on the ground. My uncle wanted
