White Ride on - 4 Wheel steer

I have just become the owner of a 1990 White 4WS Ride on.
It needed some work done on it as it appeared to have been unloved by its previous owner.
So far I have replaced tyres, recovered the seat and repainted the bonnet.
And oil change, new mandrill for the cutting deck, new bearing in the other mandrill, and have on hand new rear universals, the old ones have no needles in them.
I will replance them over winter.

I have an issue with the gears where they mesh underneath the steering box.
It keeps jumping teeth, the gears and sprockets do not appear to be worn, but maybe they are.

I am sure others will have had this issue.
Any pointers wellcome

Yes my apologies, found it after I posted this, me being far too impatient, and not doing my homework!

Sorry, admins can dump this thread if they feel so inclined.

We've had some laughs and funny phone calls and although the levity was entertaining, the steering slop has gone by the wayside. Sometimes, wacky inventions are the avenue even for us old professionals. lol
