I'm going to agree with Caterpillar Guy and say if you have too much slop in the steering, particularly if it is evident whether turning right or left, then the first places to check are the tie rod ends and the worm and sector gear. If your machine is like my neighbor's (Farmall 450) there is an adjustment, though I'm not sure if it'll tighten things up. From what we've read it is used to correct the centering of assist. If it turns easier in one direction or the other, you unloosen the lock nut and turn the adjusting nut/screw in or out as needed. If I remember correct one indicator that it is out of adjustment, is if the tractor has a tendency to want to wander to the right yet turns easily to the left (like his tractor does).
Sorry, I can't be of more help. We haven't played around with his yet, as we know he needs new worm and sector gear, then we'll be able to bugger it up properly.
