(ET) ET Steering drive shaft shims

[Dick Green <greend wycol com>]

Hi.  This is my first posting, so I hope it ends up in the right place.  
I had loose steering on my E15, and after looking at the steering 
mechanism, could see there was too much play in the steering sector 
shaft (horizontal shaft).  I removed the cotter pin (roll pin in some 
cases) and used two machine washers on the shaft, replaced the pin after 
using graphite lubricant on the washers, and the steering is like new - 
no more play.  The washers I used were from Tractor Supply Company (in 
one of their many parts bins), and are called 3/4 x 1¼ x 18 gauge 
machine washers.  You may only need one washer, but two worked perfectly 
on my tractor.  Good luck.  Dick Green
