420-430 steering

[rick deere]

is there a way to tighten up the steering on these two tractors will wobble when high speed they both have wide fronts, thank you rick

Are they "T" 's with wide fronts or another style?

430 s and 420 w

They are wobbling gobblins. If there are worn gears and bushings the only solution is new replacement parts.
If it's just an adjustment of the lash in the gearbox. Your operator's manual covers that.
The only difference is that I adjust the unit with the front wheels off the ground.

My 430 used to get wobble wheels really bad, especially when I didn't have loader on it and something on the back going down the road. I tension on gear some but you have to be careful or it gets too hard steering. Tie rod ends being loose make a lot of difference also

probably have to remove sheet metal. Jack up the front and then wobble the tires back and forth and try to isolate the biggest offender of the play. You have to take the nose off to get to the 90 Degree gear box anyway.

does the radiator have to come off???

Nope. If the tie rod ends are good, check the studs in the steering lever that fit into the steering worm. I think someone was offering oversize studs. My worm on my 420U was really worn bad. I ended up replacing the worm and welding in new std pins. Good luck.

To correct your problem start at the stering wheel and work to the front hubs replacing all worn parts. There isnt just 1 part that's worn it all is! Just my 2 cents
