I'm going to make a suggestion that may appear bizarre. First though--- the wheels and tires need to be tested for radial and axial runout, and static balance. Run one tire up on a 4X4 to lift the opposite tire. Place a jack stand near the front raised tire such that a chunk of chalk on a stick can be used to mark the tire for out of true axialy (side to side), and radially, (out of round). Mark the wheel as well. The wheel needs to be within one sixteenth of an inch of true in both directions. It can be shimmed and rebolted to get it true. The tire needs to be just as close to true, and if out of round, or axial runout is bad, may need to be replaced. Balance is done on the axle by rotating the tire and letting it stop naturally. even with a bit of friction, the unit will stop with a heavy side down (mark with chalk each test) and after several samples, a average heavy side will show up. Weights (stick on weights used for mag wheels can be used to balance it till it stops randomly when spun. Do the same for the other side. If this fixes it, cool. If it does not, here is the bizarre idea. open the top of the gear box and place a strip of aluminum from a pop can between the worm and sector gears so that it takes up the slack. (do not drive it this way) just check the steering wheel action to see if it is seriously better. If it is, the only solution I can recommend would be machining a larger hole in the worm housing that is offset a few thousandths toward the sector, and making a cylindrical shim that refits the bearings (or use a larger outside diameter bearing) to position the shaft. Good luck with it. JimN

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
