Park your unit on some concrete, get a spring
scale and attach it to a lever fixed to the
steering wheel at a distance from the steering
shaft center of one, two, three, etc. FEET

it whilst reading the scale. If you used a 2 ft.
lever the divide the reading by 2 to obtain ft/lbs,
3 - divide by three and so forth. The product is
the force required to turn the steering shaft.
Knowing this, you can figure the force at any of
the steering linkage elements. Since you
haven't finished the tractor yet use the same
method on the kinginpin itself; double the
results if you have more than one front tire. Oh,
don't forget to add in a little 'chuck-hole/furrow'
factor!
