753 steering issues

[ClassicTractorProfessor 5,363]

Need help guys...can’t figure this one out. My 753 turns a lot sharper to the right than it does to the left...with the tires straight ahead the gears aren’t lining up straight ahead...nothing I can see is bent and looks like everything is in the correct place

 

Straight ahead

 

All the way to the left

 

All the way to the right

Perhaps its just an optical illusion but on second photo it looks like your tie rods need adjusting?

There’s no adjustment in them...it does look off...a lot of it comes from the fact that the bearings are completely gone...making the wheels sit all funky like

Ill take a good look at mine tomorrow to see what is possible.

Wouldn't the shot bearings have a lot to do with it?

Switch the wheels from one side to the other and see if the problem reverses itself

Seems to me some of the lower steering shafts were not assembled correctly. When 20 is straight up 18 needs to be straight down. In other words both need be centered at the same time.

You need to take a look at the roll pins on both ends of the horizontal shaft from the fan gear to the steering sector.

The outer tie rod ends are mounted correctly but are the inners? 

Left and right assemblies are different and different tractor models use them differently - left for right and right for left

The inner ends mount on the front of the sector.

The 753 uses them like the tie rods shown below the axle in this illustration.

All go info posted.

There are pins holding the steering arms as well. All of those pin locations wear and after a combination of all of them, it will change the steering along with worn tie rods. You can tighten up all of those pin locations by drilling the holes to the next larger size roll pin and install new pins, Adjustable tie rods will give some adjustment too.

Are you hitting the steering stops on both sides when you turn left and turn right?

You may be on to something Garry...looking at it from underneath it looks like the tie rods may be in the opposite spot from where they are...think I’ll switch them tonight and see if it helps

Can someone clarify the difference between the 1772 and 1773 tie rods...both of mine look identical to each other...both measure 8.75” long

 

 

I centered the steering sector and crawled underneath to look, the pitman arm (that’s what I would call it???) is straight up and down when the sector is centered, and with everything centered this is how the wheels sit
