Sloppy Steering
I have mowed with my '66 102 several times and have noticed there is alot of slack in the steering. What might be the problem

If the steering gear assy. is still original, I imagine it's pretty well worn.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Cub-Bud,
There could be a few things.
First, check all your tie rod ends, there are four, a little here and a little there can add up fast. Lowes sells them for about $11.00 for two.
Second, your steering box is very well made. There is a cam follower that will wear from contact at the same point all the time.
Take the locknut on the follower, loosen it and turn the follower 1/4 turn clockwise. This will put a new surface against the worm gear.
One of these two (or both) should fix you up. Don't forget to grease it.
