My 1401 (2wd) has a shimmy in the front wheels when in high grear. It is really intense after the tractor hits a rough place. There doesn't seem to be much play in the steering. Any suggestions will be appreciated. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Bearings or toe-in.

Ditto.. Jack the front end up.. see if the front hubs have play. .if so adjust bearing load or replace.. etc. Check spindle s for play.. and tie rod ends / draglink for play.. toe in, etc.
