For the longest time I tried to find the answer to this problem online. I inherited a 1972 White 1270 with a property we bought a few years ago. Every winter the steering wheel would freeze solid in extreme cold. Luckily I found David Perry a 79 year-old vintage tractor mechanic.

He believes rainwater/melting snow got in from the top of the steering column over many years, and ours had the steering wheel centre cap missing. I'm sure there are other reasons why a steering wheel could be unmoveable in the cold, but here is one solution.
