If it's a recirculating ball type it may be posible to adjust. Don't know anything about yours though. Mine is just a locknut and screw type adjustment.

Just finished rebuilding the one on my Kubota B7100. Made a lot of difference.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY. DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THEM, BUT WOULD APPRECTIATE ANY HELP THAT I CAN GET. PLEASE DESCRIBE YOURS TOO ME AND MAYBE I'LL HAVE A BETTER IDEA. WHERE WAS THE ADJUSTMENT LOCATED? AGAIN NOT SURE IF ALL ARE ABOUT THE SAME.

THANKS AGAIN AND JUST TRYING TO SAVE A LITTLE MONEY.

Picture of recirculating ball steering gear. There are different variations but all are basically similar. Dropping the ball bearings on the shop floor is a preresiquit for working on the gearbox!!! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Think maybe the library has a book which includes Cubs. When I was there could not remember your tractor or find the Chilton's book with a better picture in it.

Hi..I have a 1864 and it too had tons of play in the steering. I found the adjusting screw was missing it's jam nut and had backed way out. In the diagram in the above reply I see the jam nut but the screw is out of the picture..Find yours,loosen the jam nut and adjust screw in and turn wheel till it gets a added drag in it and little or no play..1-2 inches in the wheel and tighten jam nut.Don't /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif forget to grease the box. there's a grease fitting on it.
