Default Ross steering box rebuild

I had quite a bit of slop in the steering of my 1641 that I'm going through, so I thought I would open up the steering box and see how it looks. I'm sure it is loose in the box because I could turn the steering wheel and it was tight at the CV joint but the cam was not moving.

Well, I was expecting more wear on the cam follower pin. There are no flat spots, just even wear like is visible in the first picture. Is it common for the shafts to wear too or would this amount of wear on the pin cause it to be so loose? All of the other bolts were tight and cotter keys were still installed where they should be. The cap on the bottom of the whole assembly was still in place with cotter key installed.
