For those of you who didnt read my first post I had a really bad problem with the front wheels wobbling on the H in 5th gear. The worm and sector gear doesnt have very much play in it so I jacked the front of the tractor up today and pushed the front wheels back and forth and noticed little movement. What I found was a little different. You probably dont remember but I had a post awhile back about when I had something heavy on the 3 pt and whenever I let the clutch up or hit the slightest hole I would hear a loud BAM BAM coming from the front. Well I noticed that while I was jacking the tractor would go up about a 1/2 inch before the front wheels even thought about going up. I let the jack down and it made the same noise. Jacked it up again to observe more and the whole tractor moves up probably a little more than a 1/2 inch before the front bolster wants to come up. Could it be a bushing or bearing that is bad? Thanks in advance!!! I think I will try to work on it friday.

Sounds like the bolser pivot shaft thrust bearing has failed. When the front end is jacked up can you see signs of wear on the underside of the upper bolster casting where the top of the pivot shaft flange (where the lower bolster bolts on) has been rubbing? If so that's a sure sign the thrust bearing is gone. If no wear is noted, then perhaps the nut that holds the sector gear onto the top of the pivot shaft is loose or missing - which can make your steering REALLY sloppy!

First thing to to would be to remove the grille and the steering gearbox cover for a peek inside, then jack the front end. That should show you the source of the vertical play.

Good luck!!
