1066 power steering weak

When wanting to turn hard and fast either direction the steering wheel drags. It never quits turning just turns slow with drag on the steering wheel. Slow to medium turning no problems. I have not checked pressures at MCV and know I need to. What should it be? What are the chances that it is just an oring/seal kit to fix this? Any other thoughts/suggestions? By the way, it is overfilled 5 gallon at present based on stuff I have read here.
 
Setting here nursing a pulled lower back mussel it must have affected my brain or it is CRS and i can't remember what it is suppose to be at the moment off the top of my head. BUT not only do you need the pressure BUT the flow . When was the last time the MCV had a spring kit installed and a new MCV pump. Your flow divider may not be doing it's job correctly my have something stuck in the steering orifice , my have a slight leak . With two 706's and 1 1066 and 1 old ratty 806 the best steering one is the 806 and it steers like a 4020 , why ?????? don't know never checked to see what steering orifice was in it and never checked the pressure on it as it ain't broke and i ain't going looking till it breaks . For the cost of a MCV pump and a spring and gskt kit ya can't go wrong.
 
Thanks TV, I was hoping you would see this and yes I need flow and forgot about that. I bought this thing used and have no history of its past but I have not touched it since owning. Gonna have to get the local mechanic to rate it to see what I have.
 
For the simplicity and cost, a fresh hydraulic filter would be step one. Who knows what all could be flushed into it with the new fluid.
