I use a long 5/8ths bolt with a few big washers, and a good nut and squeezed the channel together. My experience is that the narrow frame are the easiest to squeeze. Then it’s a rascal to get the axel back in if you over squeeze. But that channel will stay put and the axel won’t move back and forth. Any and all steering play you can remove will impress you when you notice how much better you done with your tractor. I reused my old pivot pin since it was still in decent shape and even the old coil keeper pin went right back and stayed.
