I got a 1975 2130 that has got a lot of play in the steering box. Unfortunately I don't have a service manual for this tractor. Is there a way to take up the slack in the box cause I got about 3/4 of a turn right now.
There are 2 places that have a history of causing steering play on JD utility tractors. One is wear in the bellcrank bushs/brgs on the center of the frt axle. The bellcrank is the part that the tie rods attach to in the center. The other place is where the arm that splines on steering box attaches the bolt gets loose. Pop the most rearward plug on LH side of clutch housing out and check tightness of the bolt.
Is bolt tight and arm still loose on steering box??
