Did you check the steering arm where it fastens to the vertical shaft through the steering gear box. The end of the shaft is probrobly square with a square hole in the steering arm. I'll bet it is very sloppy. Poor design, changed to a tapered end shaft with key which could be tightened . That said, I put shims on my square shaft and it was tighter. That was on the A. On the super A, I found an old knowledgeable parts man who knew that IH at one time offered a repair kit which changed the square end shaft to a tapered one. The kit is no longer available, but the individual parts are . Hugh can probrobly tell you which tractor started using the tapered end shaft 100, 140 or whatever. The shaft and new arm takes care of outside the gearbox slop, but the inside sector gear will still need work. I had a new keyway cut in the shaft and 180 degrees from the old keyway. But I'll bet Hugh's method works as well and is cheaper.
