[Farmall] 140 Steering Problem

The ball joints don't feel that bad as far as play.  I'll ck out the Red Power site as well.

How are the ball joints on the tie rods?  Sometimes they can get pretty worn.  The ball or, more likely, the pieces that fit against the ball, can be worn.  There is someone in Red Power that advertises new pieces for them.  I would look there before looking into the steering box.

Putting the finishing touches on a Farmall 140 and had new tires put on last week.  Now I can;tdrive due to very sloppy play in the steering.  anyone have any thoughts or ideas on what to adjust or look for?  Looking at the breakdown, steering gear is very pricy for my local IH dealer.  I have pulled the steering shaft and the "worm gear" looks ok.  Having trouble getting into the steering box.  Can't seem to get the steering arm off.  Will try to find a puller in the morning and see if that will help.
