Default Tighten up 1863 steering

I haven't done anything on the Cub lately, been working on my cart. This morning I tightened up the steering. When I got this it had about 30 degrees of slop in the steering wheel. I tightened the adjuster in the bottom of the column until it stopped with a large screwdriver, and backed off to the next cotter pin slot. That helped some but turning the follower pin in 1/4 turn made the most difference. I put 30 shots of grease in it an test drove it, much better. I still have some slop in the helm joints, especially the one next to the column. But I probably won't change them right now. If I did something wrong let me know.
