The steering on my 330U had what I thought a lot of play in the steering wheel when I turned it. I took the steering box off the tractor and removed the gear shafts inside and found that the little nipple that runs in the worm was worn a bit. I took it and had a new one machined and replaced it as well as new seals and a gasket. Well today I put it all back together and found that there is just as much play as when I took it apart. What gives? When I turn the steering shaft the play occurs between the worm and the little nipple that runs the grooves. I dont need shims and Im pretty sure that more will not help either. Is there anything else that I might be able to do?

I've Not been in that box. Usually the little nipple you speak of is a bearing mounted hardened stud that spins in the bracket. if there is a difference in size between the "nipple and the groove something is missing. If the worm gear is moving along its axis then it needs to be shimmed or adjusted to reduce play to .005" or less. Show us a Picture. and keep us informed JimN

The shims keep the worm from working up and down. Since you say that's ok, then it's probably the nipple - to - worm gear clearance. The adjustment is on the right side of box. It's a screw with a locknut on it. Loosen locknut and, with wheel straight ahead, turn screw in until it bottoms out. Then back screw out 1/8 -1/4 turn. Now turn wheel lock to lock and see if you feel any binding. If binding, back screw out another 1/8 turn. When this adjustment is OK, then find an identical screw on the left side of box and adjust the same way. *P.S. - These adjustments are done with front end on stands, wheels off floor.
