Is this possible. and if so can it be bled out. I hate to see them take out the steering valve if that isnt the problem, its a lot of work. again the steering on the tractor worked great but they had the main hydraulic pump repaired and put everything back together, they get oil pressure out one steering line but not much if any out the other. Is there a way of any diagnosis Thanks for any help [Reply]   [No Email]
