I am in the process of rebuilding the bolster on my 400, when I tore it apart there were two spacers under the sector gear. One was a large cupped washer and the other looked like some kind of a packing retainer. It appears someone has worked on this thing before because none of the cotter pins were installed. I haven't got my shop or parts manuals yet but I need to get it put together. Can someone tell me if these are supposed to be there, it just looks fishy. Also, if someone could tell me how to set this unit up. Are the nuts supposed to be torqued to a certain specification then backed off so the cotter pins can be installed? I have an IT shop manual but it doesn't go over this real well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi grubby,
On my 400 I had a prblem with the steering being very sloppy. Almost 3/4 turn. I got most out by tightening the top nut in the bolster. I just got it to conact real good and then backed it off just enough to insert the cotter pin. Mine doesn't have power steering though. Best that I can figure with those washers is just like you said. Flat one on the bottom to hold in packing and the other must be some kind of tensioner. While you've got it open. Guys on here have suggested grease over gear oil which I think was original. Those lower seals are a bugger.

If a 400 -450 with power steering does not turn with your littel finger at idel sitting still with a load on the loader then it is not working . And you have a problem , Flow divider , pressure reg. or a internal leak or bad pump.
