Steering problem

[Matt316]

Hi everyone. Thanks for any help in
advance. First, I'll give some background
information. I narrowed my front axle as
far as it would go due to a front loader.
I saw that I was leaking gear oil where
the rear drag arms connect to the steering
so I put new gaskets on. Then I tried to
correct the toe on the front wheels.
Ok so here's the problem. I'm not
getting full steering all the way to the
left. In other words my steering wheel
only turns about 3/4 of a turn to the
left. It will turn about 1.25 turns to
the right. Any ideas? Thanks again and
God bless.

he indexing is wrong in the steering box, go by the manual when putting it back together.

It would also help if you told us what year and model tractor you have.

Thanks guys. It's an 8n. I'm honestly not sure of the year though. I'll take a look at the manual when I get some time. Might not be until tomorrow though.

8n's used two different types of steering boxes, make sure you understand which one you have.
