I have a 504 farmall wide front tractor that my dad bought new in 1965(I think). The tractor steers hard. I have cleaned the filter and need to get a new one. I have checked the level in the trans by taking out the plug by the step to get on the tractor. i see there are lines that run up to the valve behind the wheel. Can somebody explain to me how it works and how does the front end tie into the steering valve ect.. The shaft runs to the front end and my expierence stops there. I have thought about starting over and putting a power steering pump on the motor and a assist on the front end. Do I need to do this. Please help! Thanks Brian.

Ah, yes. The farmall 504 steering was not IH's finest moment. The hand pump on the dash, the unit that has the hoses, supplies the power. The shaft running to the front end has too many u-joints that make too many sharp turns. It sounds like your hand pump is bad. Chech all the u-joints, keyways, and bearings on the steering shaft--they should be tight. There is a front gear box. You should check its oil level every once in a great while.

Been a long time but I think the 504 was like 560
the valve that operates the steering is in the front bolster and the saft in the front bolster must move in and out a little to activate the valve the front u joint on the shaft is splined on to the shaft in the bolster if that is rusty so the shaft in the bolster can not move in and out that little bit the valve can not open and close to direct the oil so no power steering or bad pump.

I have one and the hand pump is under the dash, not in the front bolster. I overhauled my bolster a year ago and put new bearings and seals in plus turned the round gear a half turn to tighten everything up. Sounds to me like there is a problem with your hand pump under the dash. Mine takes spells where it seems like the power steering goes away, only notice it with the new wide front, then the next time I run it you can steer with one hand, susupect I have problems starting as well. The old 1030 Case we have has a similar setup. Aka Fred Flinstone design.
