Make sure the halfmoon key and steering knuckle is tight. On most we have restored the key way is wallowed out some and it is enough to give you a shimmy.

Farmer I had the same problem with a regular H,I think the super H may be the same. The cap nut on the front of the oil reservoir was loose,this nut holds the steering shaft in and the bearing that goes on the front against the worm gear was in pieces. I put in a new bearing,and turned the round gear 180 degrees into an area that wasnt worn where it mates with the worm gear. Most Hs have cut gear here, so turning it is out. After putting it back together it was almost perfect,then when I put new tires on it drives like a new one.Sorry for the long answer but I hope this will give you some ideas.Ed

Could be several things. If you will go to archives do a keyword search for "shimmy" in farmall forum you will find lots of information.

There could be several things wrong.

1.....The steering gearbox may need a rebuild.

2....The wheel bearings may be bad or loose.

3....The tire air pressures may not be matched or the tires themselves may be different sized and or brands. Make sure these are the same.
