(ET) steering

["Christopher Meier" <mr23 mn rr com>]

I've been meaning to mechanically dig into my new E16 for the past month,
but other items have continually distracted me.  The steering is 'loose' on
this new unit, meaning there is plenty of side to side slop in it.  I
believe when I first glanced at it a while back that the play is in the
joint between the triangular shaped steering gear and the shaft it is
mounted on.  If I recall correctly, it has a set screw or something that
attaches it.  Can anyone comment on the likely repair needed here, and what
if any parts are likely to need replacement, and followup on that is does
anyone have the relevent parts off a spare parts tractor?

My other E16 has tight steering.  So I suspect something may be loose, or
worn from being loose.  With so many that have rebuilt their tractors in 
the
past year, someone must know the answer to this off the top of their head.

Thanks,

-Chris
