Farmall 460 steering slop

I"ve just got a Farmall 460 diesel brought home, more on that to
come later, and not surprisingly it has a few issues. The one that is
causing me the most trouble at the moment is the steering, my
front wheels wobble going down the road at speed. My tie rod ends
aren"t perfect, but there seems to be too much play in the steering
box causing my main problem, can you adjust it? If so how? I"m
looking forward to being able to take it down the road without
worrying about the ditch on either side! Thanks, Sam

There is a rack & pinion in the bolster housing. The rack is in side an ecentric sleeve. So the rack can be adjusted up to the pinion. you will have to remove the left rail to get at the sleeve it is behind the cap that holds the steering in the bolster housing.. it has tabs so you can use punoh and hamer to trun it. Be careful it could be rusted tight. You should get a manual first. I can't tell you which wat to turn the sleeve, to move closer or away.
 
Thank you very much for the help. The tractor actually belongs to my girlfriend (to whom I've given a set of manuals for it - and your guess is as good as mine where they've got to!) which means it falls to yours truly to fix it although she's willing to help :) I'll give it a whirl and see how it goes. Thanks again, Sam
