In Reply to: 1948 Super AV Tire / Wheel Wooble posted by Jersey Don on April 30, 2013 at 06:37:24:

not 100% of the setup on an av - but assuming it's very similar to that of a 48 super a ...

AND assuming you're talking about a FRONT wheel...

the steering slop comes from many places you'll need to work on.

The wheel bearing is an obvious point.

then up from there - the steering linkage is connected to the spindle with a bolt that has a sort of cone end on it (inside). take that bolt out and make sure it's not broken - clean it - and make sure it goes back in tightly - loosen the jam nut so you're not tightening against THAT - tighten it - then do the jam nut.

From there - each linkage in the steering arms has adjustable ball sockets. look into the ends and you'll see they're slotted and can be tightened with a large screwdriver - but also held in place by a cotter pin most likely. pull the pins if need be and tighten the socket (try removing one to see what it does if you haven't seen them before) but be sure they're all nice and tight when done.

finally - the arm that comes off the steering box (from below) is a "known" weakness on these tractors.

try to either look in from the front, or up from the bottom while somebody wiggles the steering wheel back and forth. You'll probably notice some slop in there - you'll see the shaft turn before the arm turns. (the arm will be loose).

you MAY be able to sneak a wrench in there from below and actually tighten it up to remove some slop - worth a try but can be tedious.

Do all that and I'm pretty sure you'll get rid of the wobble.

May or may not need to go further to remove looseness from the steering wheel (amount you have to turn the wheel before the tires start moving) - as in rebuild the box.

Today's Featured Article - 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 ... [Read Article]
