What model of B8200 do you have/ HST, manual trans?
Do you have power steering?

Its a manual transmission. And I'm actually not sure if it has power steering or not. Steering doesn't seem difficult but I haven't looked to see if its powered are not. I'll check next time I'm in the barn.

There seems to be some play in the steering, anyone know how to tighten it up?
There’s a whole lot of parts between the steering wheel and the front wheels…. you’re not likely to simply receive an answer that resembles “turn the such-and-such screw tighter”.
Plus, it reads like you don’t have much knowledge about what type of steering it has….so that’s indicative that you’ve not really studied the problem very thoroughly. (Not criticising…just pointing out that you’ve got some work to do before you can begin to diagnose the problem….or expect anyone else who has seen even less of that tractor than you…to be able to do that.)

Like others have said there is no simple answer to removing play.
It could be a multitude of parts causing the issue.
You would need to inspect all parts of the steering and look for play in every connection.
