Farmall M steering loose and sloppy as it can get. I just received my new used steering worm gear and shaft from Bates Corp. Bermuda Ken had a bushing and bearing kit like someone suggested. I have shimmed the upper steering shaft with a thin piece of copper and it turns freely. The universal joint is adjustable with thin washer shims and I have removed the slop in it. The sector gear is worn on about 5 teeth. Is it a good idea to re-install it 180 degrees from where it was? It seems logical. The vertical shaft has some wear, but I think I can use it over, considering the price to get it built up and turned. Anything I haven't thought of yet? Thanks, Ellis

If you have the full worm gear, turn it 180 and get on good teeth
 
Turn the gear it will be wonderful. Be sure the deep groove bearing on the worm has near no slop, it it critical. Jim
