[AT] AC C loose front end

[charlie hill]

That seems logical Dave.  Is there any wear on the bearing or bushing where 
the spindle goes through the bottom of the housing?  I'm not very familiar 
with the tricycle C front end.  Also how is the steering box up by the gas 
tank?  Is it tight?

Maybe someone here with more info will answer.  If not try posting over at 
AllisChalmers.com discussion page.  Someone there will have the answer for 
sure.
