Default Front end trouble

On my 149, the front axle moves front to rear about 1" or so when you turn the steering wheel back and forth. I see the pivot point for the axle, is a pin held in with a roll pin. I don't see any grease fitting for the front axle pivot. The rear mount on the frame look bent back a little. So do the axle pivot bore wear bad.
Fixing the axle pivot point is not a big deal. I can clamp it to the table on my mill, and bore it for a bushing and add a grease fitting.
Next is the pivot pin, make it like IH made it, or make a custom bolt then one could adjust tension on the front axle. Any guidance would be helpful.

thanks Ken
