| tooltime said: (quoted from post at 22:32:12 02/11/08) on the left side of the power steering unit, there is a square head fill and level plug, and book says add to it starts to run out of this hole, however, im not sure what gear oil to use, the book does not specify. this power steering is supplied by a transmission driven pump. also when i start tractor and move steering wheel left to right it does not seem like its real easy. maybe if it warms up i can drive the tractor and that will make a diffrence with the wheels turning. i adjusted toe - in the best i know how, some of the indication marks are hard to see, and punch marks are all but wore off. right now with the toe in i have, you can turn sharper to the left , then the right if sitting on tractor, not sure if thats supposed to be the same, thanks for any info, Jim |
THe lower part of the steering system might take gear oil rather than Hydraulic or PS fluid. It important to get this correct. The lubrication information in the manual should show which. THe normal fluid for the hydraulic system is Hytran.
The best way to center the steering is to disconnect both links, and move the steering box to exactly i/2 of its travel, (mark the wheel and count turns, then divide by two) with the wheel centered, the links are adjusted to have 1/8" toe in at the front of the tires compared to the back of the tires.
