If you read my previous post I had some questions about the setup on the steering of a 400 Farmall. The tractor has power steering and I'll be the first to admit that I'm new to red tractors, the hoses from the steering return to a tank under the dash and I'm guessing this is a pressure a valve under the hood that says Gressen or something like that on it. I installed a new bearing on the worm gear shaft. The old bearing was broken. The tractor has an American Loader on it and 6.50x16 tri-rib tires. I took the tractor for a short test run and it steers pretty good with only a slight chatter in the steering wheel when moving and steering. But, when the tractor is stopped it is impossible to steer the tires. Is this normal, am I expecting too much from the power steering.

on the left side where the hose comes out of the regulator-there is a flow divider valve behind that. it should be an E-clip holding it in. take it out and clean-make sure it is working. start tractor for 1 sec to blow the crap out of the regulator( will blow out fast) put it back in and add fluid. should do it. at least thats would i did...yours might be something different.

steering motor might be shot

I don't know about a 400, but on the later tractors such as the 806, there was a check valve that would close whenever the pressure dropped in the steering system, allowing the steering to continue working. In your case, this probably broke or is stuck open. The other option is the hydraulic filter bypass, which I also don't know if your tractor has. When the filter gets clogged, it opens, allowing the fluid to bypass. I hope this helps, but, I don't know if any of it applies to your problem.
