	Usually if those are hard to steer and everything is well 
lubed it is because the center section of the front axle 
has become bent at the center eye. That is usually from 
past use of a loader, front blade (they used to make some 
monster front blades for those) or a too big hay sweep 
rake.
	You can see a couple of those heavy implements on this 
page:

	I made that page long ago so it is slow and you have to 
scroll around a bit. Check out that "Vee" plow and that 
winch. Can you say "little tractor overload"?   :-)

Sometimes we have to work at it a little but if we 
are all going to age well we must indeed work at keeping a 
positive attitude. We might as well go out in overdrive and 
with the pedal to the metal because this thing called life 
"don't got no reverse"...  There is no sense wasting 
a lot of time trying to find one...
