You could try going through the adjustment procedure but it seems you may be near the end of the wear limits or have a problem with linkage or thrust bearings.
I operated my 2U like that for years before I learned about the adjustment you need to make from underneath the tractor. I finally got the right manual that showed how to adjust. I'd used up the adjustment from above and thought I could do no more. After adjusting from below I had more steering than I'd ever had and with far less effort.

I can post the adjustment instructions if you need them😊
Old Magnet that would be great if you could send me the adjustment instructions. Thanks all for the help.
This covers the 2U and earlier models.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
