Power Steering on a 706

reid5365 · Oct 22, 2008

The power steering went out on the tractor the beginnin of this summer. I fired it up after my buddies dad had used it on the grain leg and it was fine. Steering a little stiff but then felt normal, i unloaded a round baler off the trailer then parked it. Next day come back and its hard to steer after i fire it up. So i let it set come back next day fire it up and let it idle to warm up, go to turn nothin. Steering wheel turns either way real easy but the front wheels dont move. Problem we found earlier this summer is the hydraulic fluid was low and the pump was suckin air. My question is can i add more fluid and see if it restores the steering or am i SOL again. Thanks

Well is it low on oil ?? does your three point and PTO work??? Is it just the steering or did ya loose the brakes and T/A also ???? Maybe a stuck flow control valve in the MCV. But i ain't there to check it.
