I recently acquired a L5030. The tilt steering mechanism seems to be worn. I have poked at it a little but I have not disassembled it yet. The springs seem to be in place. It feels like the teeth are worn and they do not mesh properly. The spring continually pulls the wheel forward. The steering wheel will not remain in the rearmost position. Suggestions?

This is a cab type tractor. While removing all the pretty plastic from around the center console is not impossible, it is a bit of a pain. I'm pretty sure that there will be some mechanical disassembly and then waiting for parts. I did reach up in there a lubricate what I could see. This seemed to make it slip worse.
