The serial number says your tractor is a 1950 not 1951. BUT, many tractors have experienced engines being replaced. Also, the 8N experienced a steering box design change. I don't remember the year.
What is history of work that you have done to tighten up the steering? Are the wheel bearings properly adjusted? Have you replaced the spindle bushings. Have you replaced the tie rod ends? Is wheel alignment correct? Have you tried adjusting the steering box? Others will jump in to help you.
