[Ford-ferguson] Steering problems on my T.O. 35

[Jim Barrett]

Jeff, I have a to-35 and I just looked to see where the oil is added to the steering and it looks like it is located just to the left of the shifting lever boot...the same as the transmission. You also have adjustment screws on the left and right side of the steering...these can be tightened or loosened to help with "play" in the steering.

I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on how to improve the steering on my T.O. 35,  This tractor was purchased new for a Cemetery maintenance machine.  A Massey loader was also installed.  It's a early '50s model and the machine is in fair shape.  I recently purchased the cemetery and  I don't have anyone to ask about it's previous care.  

The steering is very hard.  I need ideas to help loosen the steering.  Even with the bucket and bucket arms unattached, the steering does not improve.  Does the loader brackets and hardware make a big difference in it's ability to steer?  Is there anyway to oil the steering cylinder, the housing just below the steering wheel?  

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thank you, 

Jeff Bram
