Have and original IH wide front on my tractor but it don't turn short at all just wondering is there a cure to make it at least a little better, have been told that changing steering arms to shorter ones off of a 56 series tractor will help true or false.

That will make it turn shorter but it will mess up the steering geometry. You realize that the inside wheel always has to make a tighter turn than the outside wheel or the tires slide sideways on a tight turn. There was a short turn kit made years ago. Installed a few of them. They took original arm on wheel and put a different bend in it and then added an adaptor to the steering arm in center to change the throw. It worked but was not engineered as well as it should have been . They used straight drilled holes in adaptor which should have had tapered hole and then they used plain bolts in the tapered hole in center steering arm so it was hard to keep them tight. I made a tapered spacer to overcome that problem.

Pete thanks for your reply I think I know what you mean, on these kits there used to be know where a guy might try and find one.
